Based on this proven premise, the authors of \u003cb\u003eAffirmative Action in\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003ePerspective\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1989-04-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780387969718\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-9639-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 211\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422461259916,"sku":"9780387969718","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780387969718.jpg?v=1771521127","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780387969718","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
