Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In recent years American colleges and universities have become the locus of impassioned debates about race-conscious social policies, as conflicting theories clash over the ways to distribute the advantages of higher education in a fair and just manner. Just below the surface of these policy debates lies a complex tangle of ideologies, histories, grievances, and emotions that interfere with a rational analysis of the issues involved. As never before, the need for empirical research on the significance of race in American society seems essential to solving the manifest problems of this highly politicized and emotionally charged aspect of American higher education. >.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This volume is important and timely in light of the legal challenges to affirmative action.

It will also be important for scholars interested in late adolescent-early adulthood development and the role of race in America.' --Patricia Y. Gurin, University of Michigan.
