Michael E. Staub's I The Mismeasure of Minds i is a well-argued, concise account of how psychology shaped public policy and popular culture in the postwar United States. Staub focuses primarily on the forty years between I Brown v. Board of Education i (1954) and Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray's I The Bell Curve i (1994), though he frequently brings readers into the twenty-first century. Whereas Gould claimed that I The Bell Curve i reflected a mounting cultural ugliness fueled by racist resentment, Staub argues that psychological studies do not simply reflect culture but are also "purposive and productive" (172).
