“Undeniably represents a significant contribution to the
debate on equality of opportunity. It does valuable work in
demonstrating the need to explore a more 'human-activity-based'
approach to equal opportunity and provides as such a good starting
point for further research. It is written for a broad audience: its
argument is accessible and challenging not only for advanced
students and professors in the social sciences, but also for
general readers. Gomberg succeeds in combining abstract
philosophical reasoning with lively illustrations and anecdotes
borrowed from the history of the United States, but also from his
own experience as a teacher in a public university with a high
proportion of black students.” (Metapsychology,
October 2008)
"Gomberg writes in a hard-hitting, knowledgeable and engaging
way about the problems of racism in society and marshals an array
of evidence to illustrate his case."
