Ever since the publication of Race, IQ, and Jensen (1980),
Professor James R. Flynn has been the most respected critic of the
notion that the IQ gap between black and white Americans is genetic
in origin. This new book is a must for those who want to be up to
date with that debate. He also offers an alternative to the vision
of American society popularized by The Bell Curve. His overriding
purpose is to rearm American idealism with new ideas. Where have
all the Liberals Gone? addresses all those who want "something
better than a foreign policy that provokes disgust, a domestic
politics with neither the vision nor the resources to promote the
common good, and a foolish relativism that reduces all ideals to
the lowest common denominator." Professor Flynn analyzes the black
marriage market, the case for affirmative action, the folly of
Iraq, and the liberal failure of will. He traces the history of
American idealism from Jefferson to the followers of Leo Strauss.
The book ends with a powerful defense of humane ideals and human
autonomy. Social scientists, philosophers, and the general public
will find this book exciting, unique and the style clear and
attractive.
