Justice, Gender, and Affirmative Action (Critical Perspectives on Women and Gender) - Softcover

Demonstrates the fairness and necessity of affirmative action for women and minorities in the workplace

In Justice, Gender, and Affirmative Action, Susan D. Clayton and Faye J. Crosby shed new light on a controversial policy. The authors argue that because society cannot rely upon individuals' perceptions of unfair treatment, there must be a mechanism for the proactive prevention of discrimination. Affirmative Action provides such a mechanism, as its operation doesn't require that a victim of discrimination come forward on her own behalf.
