Turning Back by Stephen Steinberg
Winner of the ASA, Oliver Cox Award for Anti-Racist Scholarship From the author of The Ethnic Myth comes this cogent analysis of how social science has placed a liberal gloss on racism and failed to champion civil rights. From a powerful critique of Gunnar Myrdal's classic An American Dilemma to a new epilogue that dismantles the myth of black progress, Turning Back offers a challenge to liberals as well as conservatives, blacks as well as whites, who have fueled the current backlash by providing a spurious intellectual cover for gutting affirmative action and other policies designed to advance the cause of racial justice.Stephen Steinberg is a Professor of Urban Studies at Queens College and a Sociology Professor at The City University of New York's Graduate Center. The Ethnic Myth: Race, Ethnicity, and Class in America and Turning Back: The Retreat from Racial Justice in American Thought and Policy, which won the Oliver Cromwell Cox Prize for Outstanding Anti-Racist Research, are two of his earlier books. He has writings in The Nation, Reconstruction, and New Politics, in addition to his scholarly work.
