More about the book
The book critically examines the concept of diversity as it has evolved into a political and cultural ideal in America, arguing that it prioritizes group identity over individualism. Peter Wood explores how diversity influences various sectors, including politics, education, and business, while asserting that it often undermines traditional values of liberty and equality. He warns that this ideology can deepen racial divisions and questions its validity as a cultural ideal, advocating for common standards that transcend social group hierarchies.
