Dinesh D'Souza is
John M. Olin scholar at the American Enterprise Institute
in Washington, DC. His expertise in the fields of social and political
studies includes affirmative action; cultural issues and politics;
and higher education.
D'Souza was a senior domestic policy analyst at the White House
during the Reagan administration.
His new book, The Virtue of Prosperity : Finding Values in an Age
of Techno Affluence (Free Press, November 2000) explores the social
and moral implications of wealth and technology. He is also studying
what distinguishes western civilization from other cultures, and why
the American idea has become so irresistible to immigrants and to
people around the world. His previous books include the New York Times
bestseller Illiberal Education (1991) and The End of Racism (1995),
and Ronald Reagan: How an Ordinary Man Became an Extraordinary Leader
(1997).
His
articles on culture and politics have appeared in Vanity Fair, Forbes,
Harper's, the Wall Street Journal, Atlantic Monthly, the Washington
Post, and the New York Times.
He has also appeared in several television programs, including "Nightline,
"Crossfire," "MacNeil-Lehrer Newshour," and "Good Morning America."
Graduating Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College (where he was editor-in-chief
of the conservative Dartmouth Review) in 1983, he likes to
think of his work as "bridging the world of ideas and the world of
policy, attempting to translate moral and philosphical principles
into concrete proposals."
