Descriere magazin:
The incendiary story of conquest, racism, warfare, and historical amnesia at one of the world\'s most celebrated and ostensibly enlightened public universities. The Scandal of Cal is a template for scrutinizing other land-grant universities . . . This is a beautifully written and heartbreaking narrative. -- Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz , author of An Indigenous Peoples\' History of the United States The University of California, Berkeley--widely known as Cal--is admired worldwide as a bastion of innovation and a hub for progressive thought. Far less known are the university\'s roots in plunder, warfare, and the promotion of white supremacy. As Tony Platt shows in The Scandal of Cal , these original sins sit at the center of UC Berkeley\'s history. Platt looks unflinchingly at the university\'s desecration of graves and large-scale hoarding of Indigenous remains. He tracks its role in developing the racist pseudoscience of eugenics in the early twentieth century. He sheds light on the school\'s complicity with the military-industrial complex and its incubation of unprecedented violence through the Manhattan Project. And he underscores its deliberate and continued evasions about its own wrongdoings, which echo in the institution\'s decision-making up to the present day. This book, above all, illuminates Cal\'s culpability in some of the cruelest chapters of US history and sounds a clarion call for the university to undertake a thorough and earnest reckoning with its past. It is required reading for Cal alumni, students, faculty, and staff, and for anyone concerned with the impact of higher education in the United States and beyond.
