“Disrupting Racism should be read by everyone. It is a masterpiece. Based on his personal experience, his background as a child prodigy, and his deep knowledge of law and social science, Peter Huang has given an accurate—and wholly empathetic—description of racial discrimination in America (and elsewhere). Remarkably, his characterization of racism leads to sensible and practical prescriptions for how to mitigate this terrible problem—possibly, even to eradicate it.”
— GEORGE AKERLOF, 2001 NOBEL LAUREATE IN ECONOMICS
“This book throws new light on the damage that is being done by racial discrimination.”
— EDMUND PHELPS, 2006 NOBEL LAUREATE IN ECONOMICS AND AUTHOR OF DYNAMISM
“Peter Huang is an incredibly engaging writer. Impeccably researched and delightfully presented, this book is one that every American will want to read. It is a true page-turner that beautifully combines economics, law, psychology, and the study of American racism.”
— NATALIE MARTIN, PROFESSOR OF LAW AT THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO SCHOOL OF LAW
