Western institutions that once stood tall have begun to erode under the utter destruction brought on by one word: “equity.” Heather Mac Donald brilliantly breaks down this regressive equity epidemic in which race overtakes merit. Built on a foundation of pseudo-intellectual drivel, it has infected our justice system, science, medicine, and more.

Heather Mac Donald’s When Race Trumps Merit is a tour de force that brings to bear the author’s prodigious cultural  formation, clear prose, and, most important of all, unflinching courage. Mac Donald observes the growing threats to the West, from criminal acts to cultural degradation—burglaries to rewriting Beethoven—and she proposes to excise the pernicious ideology behind these evils at a time when more cowardly commentators dare not even criticize it by name. A book to strengthen both mind and spine.

—Michael Knowles, host of The Michael Knowles Show

Heather Mac Donald has done it again! Her new book, When Race Trumps Merit, is a fact-filled, eloquent, and passionate critique of the drift toward relativism and mediocrity that is being visited upon us by progressive elites in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This is an important, persuasive, and morally righteous jeremiad that deserves to be widely read.

—Glenn C. Loury, Merton P. Stoltz Professor of the Social Sciences at Brown University

Mac Donald’s book is a comprehensive defense of merit that shows why the principle of color-blindness is indispensable in a country as diverse as America.

—National Review

Everything by Heather is worth reading and that includes her latest offering.

—Megyn Kelly, host of The Megyn Kelly Show

Heather’s scrupulous and groundbreaking work has shed light on important trends in American life. Her new book brings relentless reporting to perhaps the most dangerous one yet. When Race Trumps Merit details the rise of disparate impact ideology and its potential to do enormous harm to our society. Her book also represents a powerful defense of our civilizational inheritance.

—Brian C. Anderson, City Journal

[Mac Donald] has written many books, and they are about big subjects that are at the heart of the crisis of America, and they have been right from the beginning. If you want to understand those subjects […] to define precisely what are the issues and what are the main facts, there’s no quicker or more reliable way to get that done than to read Heather Mac Donald.

—Larry P. Arnn, president of Hillsdale College

A wonderful, wonderful new book.

—Peter Boghossian, host of Conversations with Peter Boghossian

We are living through a cultural revolution that historians hundreds of years from now will be flummoxed [with].…[T]hey are going to read Heather Mac Donald’s book, and they are going to figure out why a great power decided to try to commit suicide.

—Charlie Kirk, late host of The Charlie Kirk Show

[When Race Trumps Merit] couldn’t be timelier…. [Heather Mac Donald is] a brilliant academic and a student of America.

—Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House and host of Newt’s World

One of the country’s most important voices who exposes the truth and the data behind it.
