Reviews
"If there were any justice in the world, Mac Donald would be knee-deep in Pulitzer Prizes and National Magazine Awards for her pioneering work." - David Brooks ''No journalist now writing about urban problems has produced a body of work matching that of Heather Mac Donald.'' - George Will "The best and most intrepid journalist writing on racial issues today." - Shelby Steele "You need to know Heather Mac Donald. She'll mess with your mind and make you either up your politico-cultural game or admit you were wrong." - Debra J. Dickerson, Mother Jones "I read every word Heather Mac Donald writes and always have. She is brilliant and has tons of guts and is an inspiration." - Peggy Noonan, New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize Winner for Commentary, "I read every word Heather Mac Donald writes and always have. She is brilliant and has tons of guts and is an inspiration." - Peggy Noonan, New York Times bestselling author and Pulitzer Prize Winner for Commentary "Why should we care what happens in the Ivory Tower? Because what happens there very soon happens everywhere. Heather Mac Donald warns us: attend to the ideology now dominating the humanities and social sciences. Designed to undermine the integrity of the individual and the state alike, it does just that. The universities have a mandate to produce informed, educated, productive citizens. They have been transformed, instead, into factories of ideology that mass-produce victims, certain in their oppression, searching everywhere for oppressors to blame and to punish. And the ranks of those deemed tyrants and persecutors threaten to swell until every single one of us is deemed guilty in some manner or another. Beware." - Jordan B. Peterson, bestselling author of 12 Rules for Life "Universities justify their privileged position by claiming to be forums for the promotion of clarity, logic, and evidence. Yet their own policies, affecting millions, are too often defended with factual howlers, logical non sequiturs and mindless boilerplate. Heather Mac Donald may not persuade you on every point, but with her spitfire writing and scorn for nonsense she is forcing universities to live up to their own principles." - Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of Enlightenment Now "Others besides Heather Mac Donald have indicted academia for devastating liberal education, but no one has ever documented the damage as Mac Donald does in The Diversity Delusion . It is crammed with facts and numbers that universities go to great lengths to hide. How she did it is a mystery, but The Diversity Delusion will be my master reference for anything I write on these topics." - Charles Murray, Emeritus Scholar, American Enterprise Institute "Not since Alan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind has a book so thoroughly exposed the damage done to American institutions--particularly universities--by modern liberalism's glib commitment to 'diversity.' Mac Donald unveils today's true operating principle: that claims of social justice precede the diminishment of Western greatness--a greatness that has (and will continue to) benefit the former victims of Western bigotry. This book is a story of what happens when too much insecurity seeps into a great civilization." - Shelby Steele, author of Shame, White Guilt, and The Content of Our Character "Compelling...Mac Donald rightly points out that the foundational purpose of a university, the transmission of knowledge to broaden our view of the human experience, is being lost to an ideological fixation on identity." - Washington Examiner, "I read every word Heather Mac Donald writes and always have.

[ The Diversity Delusion ] targets the liberal ideologues running America's higher education system, both exposing and debunking their agenda." - The College Fix " The Diversity Delusion does an admirable job of dismantling liberal academic narratives. And if anyone has earned the right to do that without looking back, it's Heather Mac Donald." - National Review "No one has been more persistent, on-target, and braver in challenging politically correct nonsense [than Mac Donald]." - Center of the American Experiment " The Diversity Delusion should set off alarm bells in the minds of Americans who have heard little or nothing about the damage it is doing to the nation." - James G.
