Affirmative Action - Paperback

by Paul G. Connors (Editor)

Affirmative action has been a source of controversy in American politics since its establishment in 1961; it remains to this day a subject that is continuously complicated by various socio-economic and political perspectives. This necessary edition, with contributions from educators, politicians, and students, presents readers with a spectrum of diverse viewpoints that cover topics such as affirmative action in sports, minority press coverage of affirmative action, and affirmative action as a part of American identity.
