There seems to be fewer policy issues in Washington and around
America which cause more arguments than affirmative action. Both
sides in this debate are deeply entrenched and show little, if any,
signs of movement. Is it a catalyst or an albatross? In this book,
the author has gathered articles concerning the historical
background of the legislation and its implementation, analyses of
its effects and proposals for revision of various provisions of the
law. He has tried to concentrate on issues of employment although
two articles cover sexual harassment and one deals with American's
with disabilities. The heart of the affirmative action policy is,
after all, an attempt toward fairness. One of the pillars which
supports America's claim toward greatness is the idea that all of
its citizens should have a fair chance. Action is surely required
to realise this dream, but which action? It is the author's
intention that the papers in this volume will present a useful
review of this crucial issue.
