Sometimes There Is No Other Side: Chicanos and the Myth of Equality

This text tells how the political mood on campuses is being controlled and scientific inquiry perverted, and how academe and the courts are using concepts like truth and objectivity to subjugate minorities.

This book explores the link between higher education, the judicial system, and the American paradigm, and the New Right's hold over the academy and the Courts. He argues that both institutions base their moral authority on the myth that they objectively interpret fact; but despite the fact that Euro-American scholars have usurped the power to define truth, what they claim as truth is really no more than what they agree on. Author Rodolfo F. Acuña defines the American paradigm as the core beliefs shared by the dominant Euro-American class and manipulated by it to control others. As a result, even Chicana /o scholars are under pressure to accept the rhetoric that minorities are not victims in American society, and ethnic studies are denied their rightful place in higher education.
