Product Information
Affirmative Action recounts the fascinating history of a civil rights provision considered vital to protecting and promoting equality, but still bitterly contested in the courts--and in the court of public opinion. "Special consideration" or "reverse discrimination"? This examination traces the genesis and development of affirmative action and the continuing controversy that constitutes the story of racial and gender preferences. It pays attention to the individuals, the events, and the ideas that spawned federal and selected state affirmative action policies--and the resistance to those policies. Perhaps most important, it probes the key legal challenges to affirmative action in the nation's courts. The controversy over affirmative action in America has been marked by a persistent tension between its advocates, who emphasize the necessity of overcoming historical patterns of racial and gender injustice, and its critics, who insist on the integrity of color and gender blindness. In the wake of related U.S. Supreme Court decisions of 2007, Affirmative Action brings the story of one of the most embattled public policy issues of the last half century up to date, demonstrating that social justice cannot simply be legislated into existence, nor can voices on either side of the debate be ignored.

Reviews
"In the wake of related U.S. Supreme Court decisions of 2007, this reference for general readers and students brings the story of one of the most embattled public policy issues of the last half century up to date, occupying a middle ground between popular overviews of the affirmative action controversy and history, and "dense law-review parsings on race and gender-based public policy." Chapters cover the Great Society and the birth of affirmative action, judicial challenges to affirmative action in higher education in the 1970s, the limits of employment affirmative action in the 1970s-1990s, and desegregation, resegregation, and affirmative action. Two case studies from Michigan are included. A list of selected materials and readings on affirmative action includes primary and secondary print sources, and a 10-page chronology covers 1866 to 2008." - Reference & Research Book News, "Affirmative Action presents a comprehensive review of what has been a controversial topic in America for over 40 years. . . . This volume is an excellent source of information on the history and controversies of affirmative action. While much of it covers the legal aspects of this ongoing problem, it is readable just for the story of affirmative action in the United States but it is also useful as a reference tool for information on specific aspects of the subject." - ARBAonline, "In the wake of related U.S. Supreme Court decisions of 2007, this reference for general readers and students brings the story of one of the most embattled public policy issues of the last half century up to date, occupying a middle ground between popular overviews of the affirmative action controversy and history, and "dense law-review parsings on race and gender-based public policy."
