Contents:

Affirmative action, past and present -- White racial preference in education -- Responding to critics of affirmative action -- Defending affirmative action.

Summary: Affirmative Action examines the larger structure of institutional white privilege in education, and compares the magnitude of white racial preference with the policies typically envisioned when the term ""racial preference"" is used. In doing so, the book demonstrates that the American system of education is both a reflection of and a contributor to a structure of institutionalized racism and racial preference for the dominant majority.
