Class-Based Affirmative Action: Lessons and Caveats

Class-Based Affirmative Action: Lessons and Caveats

Description

A resource for teachers, scholars, and students, providing an extended introduction to the issue; reprints of significant cases and briefs; congressional testimony and other primary documents; and a selection of scholarly articles. The three volumes explore in turn affirmative action before constitutional law from 1964 to 1977, the apparent resolution of the issue by the US Supreme Court from 1978 to 1988, and judicial reaction from 1989 to 1997. Together they trace the major lines of intellectual and legal arguments originating outside the Supreme Court that have proved persuasive to future decision makers.
