American University Press, Washington, DC. 1996. Hardcover. First Edition. This is the fifth volume in the Pro and Con Series. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for scattered highlighted lines. Book Condition: Very Good; light shelfwear to head, tail, tips, and board bottom edges; light scuffing in several spots on front board. No DJ as issued. Black grained boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. 276 pp 8vo. Hailed at the time of its original publication as a thorough and balanced debate of one of America's most vexing political issues, Affirmative Action employs a pro and con format to provide a concise introduction to this divisive debate. In part 1, Crosby and Herzberger draw on state and federal court decisions, federal decrees, and university policies to make their argument.

A clean presentable copy.…
