Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -W. Avon Drake and Robert D. Holsworth focus on the landmark case of Richmond v. Croson. In that case, the Supreme Court ruled against the city of Richmond's set-aside program requiring that thirty percent of the money in municipal construction contracts go to minority-owned firms. The authors describe the politics that gave rise to the set-aside program, investigate its actual operation, explore its effects, and detail responses to it in both black and white communities. As they show, the program served important political purposes but produced limited economic benefits for the Black community. Drake and Holsworth conclude by examining the politics of development as an alternative to the set-aside framework. Insightful and path-breaking, Affirmative Action and the Stalled Quest for Black Progress examines the accomplishments and limitations of the set-aside programs once at the center of political debates about affirmative action in the United States. 224 pp. Englisch.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A lot has happened in the last thousand years. Mankind took to the stars. Science gave beauty and immortality to everyone. Travel is fast and communication instant, across the entire galaxy. Corporations are the official new super-beings, you are but a cell in their veins. Around the year 3,000 A.D., quintillions of souls inhabit all corners of the galaxy. On their quest for meaning, many have joined the peaceful Solar Tribes that travel between star systems, striving to achieve a new mode of shared sentience. But for most people, the dominant experience is that corporations took on lives of their own. While still run by human beings, they managed to own each other exclusively and shake all control. Most of mankind has accepted to be seen as a formless mass of cells in the super organisms of the corporations. The biggest galactic trusts are claiming legal personhood as an exclusive right for themselves and push humans to renounce their citizenship to become cellizens instead. The corporations act strictly in their own interest. Atmospheric seizures have become everyday events where planets that default on their debt are ripped off their air to breath. Wars are officially declared for profit. Small businesses are outlawed. And political correctness has completed its course to morph language into a tool of power. Against this nightmare, the rebel movement of The Reclaim inspires people of all traits to stand up and fight for the exotic and ancient dream of freedom. Lacking equipment, racing gear and extreme sports skills are leveraged in new and creative ways to break the stranglehold of the faceless masters of the universe. Ordinary people suddenly face unexpected and stark choices. The line separating right from wrong is disappearing. These short stories capture glimpses from both sides of the struggle. A collection of close ups, they are tales from the 31st century, telling the story of the Solar Tribes. This item is printed on demand.
