Advance Praise for Kahlenberg's 2025 book, Class Matters

​

“Class Matters shows where we have gone wrong so far, and how we will get to justice, equality, and even diversity for real.”

—John McWhorter, professor of linguistics, Columbia University,

and weekly New York Times writer

 

“In his indispensable new book, Kahlenberg lucidly surveys the history of the race-based approach and explains how class-based affirmative action can and must take its place. Liberals and conservatives alike should read this book as a guide to what might come next.”

– Ruy Teixeira, coauthor of The Emerging Democratic Majority

and senior fellow, American Enterprise Institute

​

"Convincing … A provocative call to reconsider how diversity in higher education can be achieved.”

– Publisher's Weekly Read it
