A thorough examination of philosophical and legal issues,
"Affirmative Action and Principles of Justice" systematically
explores a vitally important yet complicated and confounding
subject. Affirmative action is also an emotionally loaded area of
experience and one that is difficult to assess because of the
strong sentiments that arise among individuals confronting the
issue.
The book is divided into five sections: the first defines the
principles of justice involved and delineates the issues; the
second presents a legislative history of Title VII from early civil
rights efforts through Kennedy's proposals on the subject, the
Reagan EEOC, and Title VII and the Supreme Court; a third chapter
scrutinizes early Title VII employment discrimination case law,
defining discrimination and considering goals and quotas; a fourth
chapter reviews landmark affirmative action cases and provides an
overview of the state of affirmative action case law. The
concluding chapter addresses affirmative action, policymaking, and
statutory interpretation by surveying the legislative history of
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as well as early Title
VII employment discrimination cases, and probing the philosophical
basis of affirmative action. A must-read study for legal and
legislative historians, students and scholars of the affirmative
action process in the United States, policymakers, legislators, and
practicing attorneys.
