The Bakke Case : Quotas in College Admissions, May 27, 2000
This review is from: The Bakke Case: Quotas in College Admissions (Landmark Supreme Court Cases) (Library Binding)
I'm using this book for a term paper in school. It gives a lot of information on Affirmative Action and ties in the Bakke Case. Not only did it begin with the Civil Rights Period, but it went back very far historically to the beginning of Slavery. It is written in a very chronilogial order, which is very helpful for notes and understanding the judicial process behind this case.The information on Bakke and the other people involved in very good. Arguments are made both for and against Affirmative Action. There is no bias. It is written very clearly and it is really not possilbe to get caught up in all the legal terms. I would recommend this book to anyone studying or interested in Affirmative Action and/or the Bakke Case, although it may be a little young for some.
