Here is a direct reply to The Bell Curve (CH, May'95), the notorious book by R.J. Herrnstein and C. Murray that discussed a number of issues related to race, intelligence, education, and socioeconomic status in the US. Indeed, chapters 5 through 26 provide separate responses to each of the 22 chapters of The Bell Curve; the first four chapters of Measured Lies provide a context for understanding the reception of The Bell Curve by various institutions, and the concluding chapters provide some options for the future. Measured Lies is long on rhetoric and distressingly short on detailed commentaries on the questionable statistical approaches taken by Herrnstein and Murray. On the other hand, The Bell Curve was largely rhetoric dressed up in scientific garb, so a contrary dose of rhetoric to confront its arguments may be a needed antidote. The authors are from a wide array of academic fields, which may account for the unevenness of the contributions as well as the occasional technical inaccuracies. Still, a book that deserves to be read. General; upper-division undergraduates through professionals. K. F. Widaman University of California, Riverside

In this volume, Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray, authors of the notorious The Bell Curve (Free Pr., 1994), are once again accused of specious methodology in their rationalization of a ("hoodoo") social science position that claims to validate an immutable genetic connection among low achievement, poverty, violent crime affecting an entire class of people (primarily African American), and I.Q. scores. The 44 contributors span a broad range of affiliation and focus. Similar to but more strident than those found in The Bell Curve Wars: Race, Intelligence, and the Future of America (LJ 4/15/94), these abundantly referenced essays criticize the validity of Herrnstein and Murray's thesis for use of questionable assumptions, reliance on racist scholars, rejection of contradictory evidence, and equation of correlation with cause. Part a product of an increasingly conservative society, part authors' bias, The Bell Curve is seen by the essayists as a seriously flawed, dangerous rearticulation of white supremacist/racist/class ideology. This thoughtful, readable anthology is highly recommended for academics, policy makers, and the general public.Suzanne W. Wood, SUNY Coll. of Technology, Alfred (c) Copyright 2010.
