Affirmative Action recounts the fascinating history of a civil
rights provision considered vital to protecting and promoting
equality, but still bitterly contested in the courts-and in the
court of public opinion. "Special consideration" or "reverse
discrimination"? This examination traces the genesis and
development of affirmative action and the continuing controversy
that constitutes the story of racial and gender preferences. It
pays attention to the individuals, the events, and the ideas that
spawned federal and selected state affirmative action policies-and
the resistance to those policies. Perhaps most important, it probes
the key legal challenges to affirmative action in the nation's
courts. The controversy over affirmative action in America has been
marked by a persistent tension between its advocates, who emphasize
the necessity of overcoming historical patterns of racial and
gender injustice, and its critics, who insist on the integrity of
color and gender blindness. In the wake of related U.S. Supreme
Court decisions of 2007, Affirmative Action brings the story of one
of the most embattled public policy issues of the last half century
up to date, demonstrating that social justice cannot simply be
legislated into existence, nor can voices on either side of the
debate be ignored.
