This review is from: Understanding Affirmative Action: Politics, Discrimination, and the Search for Justice (Paperback)
An excellent review of background for Affirmative Action (AA) programs and issues. It also discusses many contemporary issues surrounding AA and brings in court cases that are relevant.
My students who were against AA to start with thought the book was biased in favor of AA. What could I say? I did ask them what a book about this subject that was more "Fair and Balanced" or a book that was against AA would look like. About all they could bring up is that AA is biased against white people. Maybe it is,somewhat, but I agree with the argument that any bias embedded in AA is intended to make up for eons of bias that closed many professional and even ordinary work fields and educational opportunities to blacks. |
