Race and culture : a world view / by Sowell, Thomas,1930-(CARDINAL)138236;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-316) and index.A world view -- Migration and culture -- Conquest and culture -- Race and economics -- Race and politics -- Race and intelligence -- Race and slavery -- Race and history.This book presents information regarding race, ethnicity, and culture, as well as information on the policy issues that revolve around these topics, not only in contemporary America but in societies around the world and throughout history. This book brings together more than a decade of research, encompassing dozens of ethnic groups in scores of countries around the world, to challenge most of the fundamental assumptions underlying the spectrum of "social science" beliefs and government policies dealing with racial and ethnic minorities. The book's thesis is that differences in productive skills and cultural values are the key to understanding the advancement - or regression - of particular groups, particular countries, and whole civilizations. The author concludes that cultural capital has far more impact than politics, prejudice, or genetics on the social and economic fates of minorities, nations, and civilizations. The spread of these skills across the planet, whether through migration or conquest, has shaped much of the history of the world and transformed its landscape. The author argues that attempts to achieve through multiculturalism, affirmative action, or other policies what can only be achieved by the development of cultural capital are illusions and distractions only likely to make matters worse.1230L1750L
