Product Description

Book Description

A comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the past, present, and future of affirmative action in the United States. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From the Back Cover

Affirmative action has been and continues to be the flashpoint of America's civil rights agenda. Yet while the affirmative action literature is voluminous, no comprehensive account of its major legal and public policy dimensions exists. Samuel and William M. Leiter examine the origin and growth of affirmative action, its impact on American society, its current state, and its future anti-discrimination role, if any. Informed by several different disciplines-law, history, economics, sociology, political science, urban studies, and criminology-the text combines the relevant legal materials with analysis and commentary from a variety of experts. This even-handed presentation of the subject of affirmative action is sure to be a valuable aid to those seeking to understand the issue's many complexities. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

I am a student of Dr. William Leiter and he does some amazing work. He is truly a great political mind of our time. If you have any interest in affirmative action, this is the tool you need to study it!
