"An antidote to that much-publicized book, The Bell Curve. . . . Take a couple chapters and call Jesse Helms in the morning." -- National Catholic Reporter
"William Tucker's timely book refutes the argument." -- Maya Angelou
"A splendid book, indeed, the best of many admirable books. . . . Will do a great deal of good in the world." -- Ashley Montagu
"A marvelous book!" -- Carl T. Rowan
"Tucker's well-researched discussions show the intensity of the ideological struggles to prove racial differences in ability and IQ, and they contextualize recent books, such as Charles Murray and Richard Herrnstein's The Bell Curve, that continue this scientific racism." -- J. R. Feagin, Choice
"Anybody reading The Bell Curve should read The Science and Politics of Racial Research." -- George Armelagos, Emory University
"Even scholars well-versed in the study of race will be shocked at Tucker's disclosure of the extent to which research on race and psychology has been motivated by political considerations in the U.S. and Europe." -- Lewis H. Killian, author of Black and White: Reflections of a White Southern Sociologist
