Wrestling With Diversity

"Sandy Levinson's essays are real page-turners. You want to turn the page to find out how he comes out on the incredibly provocative questions he poses. Whether it be 'Does diversity have any real value?' or 'Was Sandy Koufax a "Jewish pitcher"?, ' Levinson's answers always surprise. He is one of those rare academics who belong to no club and subscribe to no overarching ideology. He actually thinks for himself and always poses questions and suggests answers that make you think. To read these essays is to engage in a dialogue with one of America's most interesting minds."--Alan Dershowitz, author of "The Case for Israel"

Sanford Levinson is the W. St. John Garwood and W. St. John Garwood, Jr. Centennial Chair in Law and Professor of Government at the University of Texas at Austin.
