註釋
Argues that white academia and the American court systems uncritically accept an "American paradigm" which is framed by neoliberal, positivist theory. The paradigm fundamentally rests upon loyalty to the government and Western civilization, as well as a core of beliefs shared by the dominant class of Euro-Americans about the superiority of their culture. The author examines how this paradigm at once gives the lie to and impacts the notions of objective truth so cherished by the courts and academia. He supports his case with evidence from California's anti-affirmative action Proposition 209; the academic review process; and his own successful lawsuit, Acuna v. The Regents of the University of California. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
