Hailed at the time of its original publication as a thorough and balanced debate of one of America's most vexing political issues, Affirmative Action employs a pro and con format to provide a concise introduction to this divisive debate. In a new, substantive introduction, Richard F. Tomasson offers a short history of the affirmative action debate and addresses new developments since the book's original appearance. In Part One, authors Crosby and Herzberger draw on state and federal court decisions, federal decrees, and university practices to support affirmative action to counter racial and gender bias. In Part Two, Tomasson cites the same kinds of evidence to argue against affirmative action programs.
Richard F. Tomasson is professor emeritus of sociology at the University of New Mexico and author of Social Security: The First Half Century. Faye J. Crosby is professor of psychology at Smith College and author of Juggling: The Unexpected Advantages of Balancing Career and Home for Women and Their Families. Sharon D. Herzberger is professor of psychology at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut and author of Violence Within the Family: Social Psychological Perspectives.
