For Discrimination
あらすじ・解説
The definitive reckoning with one of America’s most explosively contentious and divisive issues—from “one of our most important and perceptive writers on race and the law.... The mere fact that he wrote this book is all the justification necessary for reading it.”—The Washington Post
What precisely is affirmative action, and why is it fiercely championed by some and just as fiercely denounced by others? Does it signify a boon or a stigma? Or is it simply reverse discrimination? What are its benefits and costs to American society? What are the exact indicia determining who should or should not be accorded affirmative action? When should affirmative action end, if it must? Randall Kennedy gives us a concise and deeply personal overview of the policy, refusing to shy away from the myriad complexities of an issue that continues to bedevil American race relations.
批評家のレビュー
“Kennedy is one of our most important and perceptive writers on race and the law, and the mere fact that he wrote this book is all the justification necessary for reading it. For Discrimination is a heartfelt and tautly argued defense of affirmative action, a smart, concise refresher of the liberal position that is well worth the general reader’s attention.” (Washington Post)
“Refreshingly honest.... Beginning with its provocative title, For Discrimination is a profoundly honest work on a topic frequently marked by mendacity.” (New Republic)
“Kennedy offers a clear-eyed take on America’s battle over affirmative action and diversity.... He goes straight at the issue with fearlessness and a certain cheekiness.” (Los Angeles Times)
“Compelling.... Powerful.... Rare intellectual honesty and fair-mindedness.... Kennedy deftly presents the case against affirmative action - and explains why he supports it anyway.” (Wall Street Journal)
