Synopsis
Tackling the issue of affirmative action, this book aims to get back to the policy's original intent by removing the rhetoric. The authors trace the evolution of the policy from the ideological speeches of Stokely Carmichael, to current conflicts among minority groups. They discuss the notion of maintaining a sense of unique and profound suffering rather than combining all human suffering under a general notion of oppression.
