Quote from this book "In recent years the world has become extremely conscious of minority problems. Upon industry, government and indeed upon society as a whole, there is constant pressure to recognize the rights of minorities. Usually by biological accident, somettimes by intellectual choice, many people find themselves outside the pale of teh mainstream of life, unable to enjoy the benefits of civilization side by side with their fellowmen. Their plight is recognized; one constantly hears that human rights must be granted, regardless of race, religion, color or political creed. The attitude toward minorities has, in the opinion of many, become a touchstone by which the progressive chracter of an individual or a nation may be judged. Minority rights, many contend, have become the challenge of this century; they are regarded as the corner stone upon which democracy must build and flourish, or perish in the decades to come. The lack of recognition of the rights of dissident and nonconforming minorities is the most distinguishing characteristic of totalitarianism." opening paragraph Secondhand booksellers |
