Affirmative Action: A Problem or a Remedy?

112 pp. | Lerner | January, 1998 | Library ISBN 0-8225-2614-X
(4) YA Focusing mostly on racial prejudice against blacks and gender discrimination against women, the text provides a succinct history of affirmative action and neatly explains the legal and philosophical conflicts of the issue. Specific references to the 'Bakke' decision and California's Proposition 209 help keep the text concrete and accessible. The book's dull cover and dark photos are off-putting. Bib., glos., ind.
