Affirmative Action in Perspective PDF
by Fletcher A. Blanchard, Faye J. Crosby
Part of the Recent Research in Psychology series
Description
Racism and sexism remain prevalent in societies today. Based on this proven premise, the authors of Affirmative Action inPerspective maintain that a policy of equal opportunity as practiced in America is not a feasible, realistic solution to the "legacy of racial and sexual discrimination". Drs. Blanchard and Crosby have edited a volume which clearly displays their conviction that affirmative action as a policy has the potential to establish a society more equitable than the society we know now. Distinguished contributors to this volume discuss the policy from a level of definition to actual case studies and further, to the theoretical examination of the justice of affirmative action. Throughout the book the urgency of questioning current policies is evident; so too is the need for basic understanding of the realities of injustice which draw the line between the advantaged and the disadvantaged.
