Habermas: Introduction and Analysis
Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2010
blurb

Group Rights: Reconciling Equality and Difference
Lawrence, KS: University Press of Kansas, 2000
"This timely and important book addresses one of the most vexing issues within the emerging field of critical race theory: blacks have long been oppressed on the basis of group status, and yet our system of laws secures rights only to individuals. Ingram's critical examination of the ways in which established democratic precepts and constitutional norms unintentionally perpetuate racial inequalities is certain to impact both intellectual and policy debates. This book will be influential."
—Stephen Steinberg, author of Turning Back: The Retreat from Racial Justice in American Social Thought and Policy

Rights, Democracy, and Fulfillment in the Era of Identity Politics: Principled Compromises in a Compromised World
Rowman and Littlefield, 2004.
"Much of the literature on democracy today is overshadowed by rigid polarities: between universal rights and distinct identity claims, between abstract norms and the striving for well-being or fulfillment. Ingram's book offers a welcome intervention by showing that many of these dilemmas can be mitigated - not by arbitrary fiat but by compriomises that are rationally principled. Philosophically rigorous, Ingram's intervention keeps its focus on the concrete agonies of contemporary political, economic, and ethnic struggles."
Fred Dallmayr, Packey J. Dee Professor of Political Theory, University of Notre Dame

"In this major new work of political theory, David Ingram successfully melds the utopian impulse to go beyond the constraints of the current global system with a pragmatic framework that pursues the most efficient strategies available in the here and now. I especially liked his sympathetic treatment of identity politics, which has suffered especially from the so-called Left. Ingram's version of Left politics is one I can feel a part of as a Latina."
Linda Martin Alcoff, Professor of Philosophy, Political Science, and Women's Studies, Syracuse University

The Complete Idiot's Guide To Ethics
Alpha Books, 2002.
"Talk is easy but doing the right thing isn't! This little text, however, with a perfect balance of wit, wisdom, and irreverance cuts through the double-talk and the unnecessary bad stuff and offers both the idiot and the savant a few insights and a couple of basic tips on how to be a mensch (Yiddish for a decent, sincere, and responsible human being). Try it; you'll like it. Trust me!"
