| In Diversity in America: Keeping Government at a Safe Distance (Harvard University Press, May 2003) Peter H. Schuck explains how Americans have understood diversity, how we came to embrace it, how the government now regulates it, and how we can do better. Schuck mobilizes a wealth of conceptual, historical, legal, political, and sociological analysis to argue that diversity is best managed not by the government but by families, ethnic groups, religious communities, employers, voluntary organizations, and other civil society institutions. By analyzing some of the most controversial policy arenas where politics and diversity intersect, including immigration, multiculturalism, language, affirmative action, residential neighborhoods, religious practices, faith-based social services, and school choice, Schuck reveals the conflicts, trade-offs, and ironies entailed by our commitment to the diversity ideal. He concludes with recommendations to help us manage the challenge of diversity in the future. |
