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","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45281262108823,"sku":"9780387969718","price":7345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780387969718.webp?v=1769298718","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/affirmative-action-in-perspective-9780387969718","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
