نقد و بررسی

AudioFile Magazine
The choice of a deep baritone for a book focused on race and culture is fitting as it suggests solemnity and sophistication. Tom Weiner's voice comes through as ethnically neutral, and that could also work well for some listeners. Weiner's deliberate pace and clear enunciation help one digest the vast ground the text covers--from ancient Rome to the contemporary U.S. However, his narration could use some variety as the lack thereof and his somewhat staccato diction sound slightly impersonal.

Sowell ( Ethnic America ) draws on a worldwide range of examples and more than a decade of research in this intriguing exploration of the role of cultural attributes on group advancement. He aims to demonstrate the ``reality, persistence, and consequences of cultural differences--contrary to many of today's grand theories based on the supposed dominant role of `objective conditions,' `economic forces' or `social structures.' '' He tackles a host of issues: the costs and benefits of residential segregation; how affirmative action primarily helps better-off members of preferred groups; how prominent political leaders are not crucial to group success; how low-scoring groups on intelligence tests do their worst on abstract questions devoid of ``cultural bias.'' Sowell's observations have force, but he sometimes sacrifices depth for breadth. Although he claims to avoid policy prescriptions, he includes facile swipes against multiculturalism and argues, with varying degrees of plausibility, against liberal policies on race. Conservative Book Club selection.
