The contemporary debate over racial classification has been
dominated by fringe voices in American society. Cries from the
right say history should be abrogated and public policy made
color-blind, while zealots of the left insist that all customs,
language, institutions, and practices are racially tinged and that
only aggressive, color-conscious programs can reverse the course of
American history. The essays in this volume, however, recognize
that racial classification is an issue that cuts too deep and poses
too many constitutional questions to be resolved by slogans of
either the right or the left.
The contributors to this volume are James Alt, Kenneth Benoit,
