The definitive reckoning with Affirmative Action, one of Americas most explosively contentious and divisive issues-from one of our most important and perceptive writers on race and the law.-The Washington PostA clear-eyed take on Americas battle over affirmative action and diversity.... [Kennedy] goes straight at the issue with fearlessness and a certain cheekiness. -Los Angeles TimesCompelling.... Powerful. -Wall Street JournalWhat precisely is affirmative action, and why is it fiercely championed by some and just as fiercely denounced by others? Does it signify a boon or a stigma? Or is it simply reverse discrimination? What are its benefits and costs to American society? What are the exact indicia determining who should or should not be accorded affirmative action? When should affirmative action end, if it must?Randall Kennedy gives us a concise and deeply personal overview of the policy, refusing to shy away from the myriad complexities of an issue that continues to bedevil American race relations.
