5.0 out of 5 stars
Definitive account of a modern civil rights struggle,
By
This review is from: Ending Racial Preferences: The Michigan Story (Lexington Studies in Political Communication) (Hardcover)
Carol M Allen's book, "Ending Racial Preferences: The Michigan Story will be the definitive treatment of the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative (MCRI). With 422 pages and nearly 600 footnotes, Ms. Allen a research specialist in the Political Science Department at Michigan State University, has carefully documented the campaign which resulted in a 2006 amendment to the Michigan State Constitution banning racial and gender preferences in public employment, education and contracting. It was supported by 58% of the voters.
The story is an exciting one of near misses, ballot challenges, court cases, and scurrilous tactics. These initiative are coming to other states and readers interested in this issue could do no better than to read "Ending Racial Preferences." |
