Not All Black and White

By Christopher Edley Jr.

Book Overview

Rejecting simplistic left-right arguments, Christopher Edley, Jr., offers a cogent and persuasive analysis of one of the most contended issues in politics today. He makes the powerful argument that affirmative-action laws are essential to social justice in this country, though they have flaws and drawbacks (for both of which he suggests precise and sensible remedies). He shows us what is at stake in the positions our elected officials take and in the arguments we make about fairness, justice, and progress.

Whether or not you agree, this is a powerful arguement

This is by far the most in depth and comprehensive arguement for Affirmative Action. Edley manages to write about this worn-thin issue with a new and interesting angle. Factually compelling as well. This is a must read for anybody at all interested in the contreversies of race-politics.
