Invisible Victims: White Males and the Crisis of Affirmative Action by Frederic Lynch.
The use of race-and-gender preferences to restructure American society has produced a good deal of conflict, resentment, and other problems. These problems, in turn, have generated a growing sense of crisis and doubt about affirmative action. Lynch condemns the sloppy, fearful thinking that has converted affirmative action into quotas and that has kept social researchers shying away from this explosive topic.
..."Invisible Victims belongs in the library of everyone concerned about the impact of affirmative action on American society. It should be read by Federal bureaucrats, university administrators, and media moguls. Despite the left's belligerent denials, the suspicion is unavoidable that runaway preferential treatment is a major cause of racial unrest on college campuses and elsewhere. Young white males, after all, in general have committed no offenses against blacks and women, and realize instinctively that justice is not being served when they are routinely sacrificed in the name of ill-defined social goals instead of treated as individuals and judged on their own merits. Lynch's research suggests a growing body of 'underground' resentment against affirmative action, and I predict a real donnybrook somewhere down the road if the problems it has created are not faces."--The Freeman
