Affirmative Action in Antidiscrimination Law and Policy
Provides a comprehensive and even-handed overview of the very contentious subject of affirmative action.
Racism, sexism, and ethnic discrimination have long represented a seemingly intractable problem. Affirmative action was conceived as an attack on these ingrained problems, but today it is widely misunderstood. This volume reviews new developments in affirmative action law, policy, and ideological conflict in the areas of employment, education, voting, and housing. The second edition adds a discussion of age, disability, and sexual-orientation discrimination for the purpose of promoting a truly comprehensive portrait of affirmative action that is informed by history, law, political science, sociology, and economics.
