Rating:
Summary: "To be great is to be misunderstood"
Review: A classic example of how well thought out arguements are all to often misunderstood because of today's desire for the one-liner and the soundbite.

Summary: Too much legalese, some good points
Review: Guinier's essays that evoked so much controversy when she was offered as a nominee for a key position in the Clinton administration. The introduction is more thought-provoking than the essays are, as the latter tend to get boggled down in legalese and political theory. At least the label of Quota Queen should be rejected by this book which gives an accurate portrait of his views rather than a conservative-media-biased one.
