520 8 Like the canaries that alerted miners to a poisonous
atmosphere, issues of race point to underlying problems in
society that ultimately affect everyone, not just
minorities. Addressing these issues is essential. Ignoring
racial differences--race blindness--has failed. Focusing
on individual achievement has diverted us from tackling
pervasive inequalities. Now, in a powerful and challenging
book, Lani Guinier and Gerald Torres propose a radical new
way to confront race in the twenty-first century. Given
the complex relationship between race and power in America,
engaging race means engaging standard winner-take-all
hierarchies of power as well. Terming their concept
"political race," Guinier and Torres call for the building
of grass-roots, cross-racial coalitions to remake those
structures of power by fostering public participation in
politics and reforming the process of democracy. Their
illuminating and moving stories of political race in
action include the coalition of Hispanic and black leaders
who devised the Texas Ten Percent Plan to establish
equitable state college admissions criteria, and the
struggle of black workers in North Carolina for fair
working conditions that drew on the strength and won the
support of the entire local community. The aim of
political race is not merely to remedy racial injustices,
but to create truly participatory democracy, where people
of all races feel empowered to effect changes that will
improve conditions for everyone. In a book that is
ultimately not only aspirational but inspirational,
Guinier and Torres envision a social justice movement that
could transform the nature of democracy in America.
