"Slow through the Dark": A Commentary on "The Bell Curve."

Reviere, Ruth

Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n3 p312-15 Sep 1995

Criticizes Herrnstein and Murray for their lack of respect for the truth, displayed throughout "The Bell Curve"; their willingness to encourage disharmony between groups they identify as cognitively different and to foment fear and distrust of an alleged underclass portrayed as dangerous and beyond help; and their lack of interest in questions of basic social justice.
