Sarich,Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at theUniversity of California, Berkeley,andFrank Miele,senior editor ofSkeptic Magazine,argue for the reality ofrace.The book was published byBasic Booksin 2004. It disputes the statements of the PBS documentaryRace: The Power of an Illusionaired in 2003.[1][2]
After arguing that human races exist, the authors put forth three different political systems that take race into account in the final chapter, "Learning to Live with Race." These are "Meritocracyin the Global Marketplace ","Affirmative Actionand Race Norming ", and" Resegregation and the Emergence of Ethno-States. "Sarich and Miele list the advantages and disadvantages of each system and advocate Global Meritocracy as the best of the three options. The authors then discuss" the horrific prospect ofethnically targeted weapons,"[3]which they view as technically feasible but not very likely to be used.
