Inhaltsangabe
"Make no mistake, this is going to be a controversial book. Bob Zelnick, a first–class journalist who is also a lawyer, has looked beyond the successes and well-meaning goals of affirmative action and found a bureaucratic morass that seems to have been designed by Kafka and implemented by Lewis Carroll. If our goals are fairness and racial harmony, we are obliged to address and answer the questions Zelnick raises."
—Ted Koppel, ABC News

Zustand: FINE. 2nd printing. From the Back Cover: "Zelnick looks past the good intentions to how affirmative action really works in such areas as voting rights, employment, minority set-asides, mortgage and insurance regulation, and education. Buttressing his case with the latest research data and scores of real-life examples, Zelnick shows overwhelmingly that affirmative action: favors the less qualified over the more qualified; endangers public safety in such areas as crime and fire prevention, and even medical care . . .brings few benefits to those most in need of help, and benefits mostly those who don't need it; distracts from - and even exacerbates the real causes of misery among inner city blacks." One reviewer commented: "If America is moving toward a consensus that affirmative action has outlived its usefulness, then this attack underscores the resentment driving that movement." Notes, index. xiii, 415 pp. Fine in very good dust jacket (creasing to bottom edge of back cover of dj). Artikel-Nr. 78804
