Impacts of affirmative action : policies and consequences in California
"All eyes are now focused on California - a state that has set precedent for anti-discrimination initiatives since its first policies in 1934 preceded federal policies by almost a decade. The contributors to this volume came together with the belief that today's highly emotional and rhetorical debate over affirmative action would be better informed if it were grounded in an analysis of the strategies and outcomes of California's programs over the last quarter century."
