Toxic Diversity offers an invigorating analysis of race, gender, and law in America. By deconstructing the work of preeminent legal scholars such as Patricia Williams, Derrick Bell, Lani Guinier, and Richard Delgado, Dan Subotnik argues that critical race and gender theory poisons our social and intellectual environment by labeling white males as victimizers instead of proactively engaging them in a truly open dialogue that bridges instead of polarizes minority and majority voices. Insisting, in the words of James Baldwin, that "not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced," and that thoughtful Americans regardless of race and gender can handle frank conversations about difficult topics, Subotnik's critique of race and gender theory pulls no punches as it confronts such inflammatory issues as single parenthood, the merit system in academic and business settings, gender privilege in the classroom, and crime.
