More copies of this ISBN:The Affirmative Action Debatesby Steven M. Cahn
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Affirmative action has been a divisive issue in the United States for close to thirty years. The controversy is alive today and the debate has intensified. This newly updated, highly readable collection provides an essential guide to the full range of arguments surrounding contemporary discussion of affirmative action making it a useful tool for students and general readers alike. Comprising nearly three decades of writing on the subject, the book follows the debate from early foundational articles to the most up-to-date opinions, and covers all the important stops in between. Book News Annotation:This collection features contributions by American scholars from the
fields of philosophy, political science, economics, history, law, and
government, and presents the major lines of argument within the
controversy over affirmative action. Twenty-five articles are
grouped into sections on individuals, groups, and discrimination;
justice and compensation; the Bakke case; diversity; and preference
vs. impartiality. The text is academic but accessible to the
motivated general reader. Specific changes from the first to the
second edition are not identified. No subject index.
