Angebote / Angebote:

A thoughtful history and analysis of Supreme Court affirmative action decisions. Most of the study focuses on five of the cases: Weber, Stotts, Wygant, Paradise, and Johnson. Greene also examines the legislative history of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and its administration by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In her discussion of the philosophy of affirmative action the author favors the distributive approach over the compensatory perspective. The book should be used in conjunction with Karen J. Maschke, Litigation, Courts, and Women Workers. Good bibliography, index, and table of cases. An excellent study of one of the most critical policy issues facing the nation today. Highly recommended for public, college, and university libraries." Choice
