Amazing eye opening book.

This is a must read for everyone who what to understand the current situation in USA and how it affects the world around us.

Many will say that the issue raised in the book are America centered. And yes the book talks about the history and affect of affirmative action in American but reading this book will help you understand the reach the affirmative action has on the whole modern world especially Canada and UK.

The Affirmative Action Myth: Why Blacks Don't Need Racial Preferences to Succeed by Jason L Riley, takes the reader through the history of Affirmative Action law and polices and how they evolved from the goal of providing opportunities for African Americans, to justifying specific representation quotas for this group and the harmful effects of these quotas.

The narration by James Shippy of tis potentially dry topic keeps the user engaged, allowing me to complete the book in one sitting.

Thank you to Hachette Audio | Basic Books for the opportunity to listen to this ALC. All opinions are my own.
