This three-volume series collects important primary materials including actual affirmative action programs, Supreme Court cases and briefs, and influential scholarly analysis on both sides of the question, offering clear and understandable explanations of a complex area of law, without sacrificing the sophisticated, sometimes challenging views of the most important thinkers and decision makers in the area. The literature of affirmative action is vast, so the series emphasizes the most salient constitutional trends, illustrating developments and arguments with both primary materials and scholarly commentary. The series reprints examples of actual affirmative action policies, making concrete the nature of the programs at stake in the debate. Another major focus is the Supreme Court; all of the leading cases are reprinted or discussed. Each volume in the series is introduced by an essay providing an overview of the major issues, and suggesting additional court decisions, books and articles for those interested in further reading. |
