About this title

Synopsis

Reviews the original intent of affirmative action policies and argues for their critical role in the health of American society, emphasizing the need for an expanded and more humane version of affirmative action.

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.
