Sowell - I am Trying to Find His Example of the Failure of Affirmative Action in His Books.

I think it was the Cultures series, He spoke about a small country or island that implemented affirmative action policies for its minorities and ended up with civil war and genocide.

Has anyone read his books and can come up with the example for me? I have looked but I do not have all his books. I think it is an important example to disseminate far and wide.

Thank you.

It was a series of essays on the culture wars, much of it about the liberals’ false wooing of black voters, and how liberalism destroyed the black family
