The Affirmative Action Debate

Customer Reviews:

The most balanced treatment of a most misunderstood issue........2003-01-17

This book is arguably the most balanced treatment of one of the most poorly understood issues in contemporary American public policy. I read it when it first came out in 1996, and I feel that I a much better informed citizen on affirmative action as a result. This books is a collection of essays that present all sides of the debate on affirmative action from well-known scholars, businessmen, political and civic leaders. It dispels many of the misconceptions of the policy while highlighting its inherent flaws, explains the goals of the policy in its intended form, and includes two all but forgotten perspectives - that of women and Asian-Americans.

A very good and easy read, anyone with a desire to have as broad an understanding as possible on affirmative should buy and read this book.

The title alone gives offense.......2000-10-14

I have never given a one-star review, I am not unsympathetic to the emotions behind the pro-affirmative action side, but the title of this book infuriates me.

It is, in no stretch of the definition, a "debate" -- and it is intellectually offensive for the editors to attempt to pass it off as one. It is, instead, an almost entirely one-sided, exceedingly-pro-affirmative action screed.

Many of the essays in the book have merit; some are even persuasive. Yet the philosophical blinders evidenced in the gross partisanship of this book are THE most telling part of the story.

Don't you get it? This is why the pro-affirmative action side is doomed to eventual failure, after much (unnecessary) flailing...there is an *assumption* that this program is (now) an absolute minimum for social justice, and anyone who disagrees is, almost as a definitional precept: A Racist. The dangers are foreboding, and I'm not sure how our leaders are going to learn how to back down.

I am, in a way, African Americans' worst nightmare: I am white, male, socially very liberal, fiscally very conservative, and I'm growing tired of the constant attacks based solely on one-dimensional characteristics. I hope -- I truly do -- that African Americans will wake up and stop blaming everyone else for their ills. Yes, slavery was awful. Yet it was a fact of life, everywhere in the world (and still is, to this day, a fact of life in parts of the Middle East and Africa). Yes, the deprivations of modern day urban life are debilitating. But so they were for tens of millions of immigrants who moved on.

Get over it.

This is, I know, harsh. Yet it is also Tough Love. Both parts are crucial, as elder African Americans know. Move on, and move up. Stop asking for anything and everything -- and start demanding of yourself. Work twice as hard, and I will fight along side you to protect what you EARN. Keep whining about what is owed to you, and many, MANY will begin to grow tired of the endless complaining. Legitimate or not, it (the whining) is cancerous.

The better path for African Americans is education (academic and vocational) and ENTREPRENEURSHIP. This latter path, sadly lost to history, should be THE central focus of all leaders, today.

This is a warning. I hope I am wrong, but I fear I am not. I too have a dream: I hope the pseudo-philosophical screeching on either side subsides, and cooler (and more earnest) heads and hearts prevail.

Please, all, let's change our ways.

Really want to understand the issue? Read this book.......2000-09-12

This publication does an excellent job of addressing this most sensitive and complex issue from all sides (liberal, conservative, ignorant), clarifying its legal, political and social significance. It should be manadatory reading, especially for all journalists in this country, whose botched -- essentially useless -- coverage shows how unfamiliar many really are with affirmative-action realities. "Debate" addresses court decisions, executive orders and legislation involving employment, education and government contracting. And thankfully it's well-organized enough so that readers truly open to understanding the issue are easily able to discern the incendiary rhetoric and willfully blind misinformation of the William Bradford Reynolds and Linda Chavezes from the thoughtful and rational analyses of Civil Rights Commission Chairperson Mary Frances Berry and pollster Lou Harris. It sheds light on nonrace-based forms of affirmative action that opponents don't like to talk about -- like so-called "legacies" in education (relatives of alumni). It discusses who actually benefits most from affirmative action -- white women. Whether you support or oppose these programs, if you honestly want to understand the issue, read this book.

Excellent and balanced collection of essays........2000-04-10

This book contains an excellent collection of essays by some of the greatest minds of this generation, including Cornel West, Manning Marable, and many others. I would recommend this book solely for the purpose of reading a copy of Lydon B. Johnson's commencement address at Howard University in 1965. Overall an excellent, and fair collection which should cause individuals on either side of this issue to reexamine their respective position on this debate.

Excellent source of a variety of views on this issue........2000-03-30

I purchased this book as an individual who was undecided about this issue, although with a leaning toward viewing affirmative action programs with strict scrutiny. In my opinion this book provided a well rounded and fair presentation of this issue. I found it to be an excellent source of information and arguments written by some truly great minds, co-editor Cornel West the most prominent among them. I would highly recommend this book to everyone with an open mind who wishes to gain greater insight and more information on this issue. While I am still undecided on this issue, I know I am much better informed, and better for that.

Affirmative Discrimination A.K.A. Racist Action.......2004-03-03

This book is an informative collection of essays debating the application of Affirmative Action in America.However it is amazing that many Americans support such an abhorent practice of violating individual human rights,as expressed in this work.
Applying a system which restricts access to wealth and opportuinity to racial and gender based criteria is a form a social engineering that is tantamount to that favoured by the NAZIS and the Stalinist Empire in the 1930's. However,as insidious as the the application of Affirmative Discrimination is in the US, it pales in comparison to what is currently being perpetrated in South Africa.For every white male job applicant in South Africa there are approximately twenty to fifty black applicants (yes a black majority!), yet it is the minority which legislation enforces discrimination against.Proponents of Affirmative Action would argue that it is minorities which need and deserve protection - how is it then that Affirmative Action is always designed to benefit a particular race group, and specifically designed to discriminate against white males - no matter their individual circumstances?!
In South Africa defenceless white males are prevented by legislation from receiving equal access to wealth, opportuinity, tertiary education and training - all justified by the ANC governments' racial engineering strategy.AA selection criteria result in many meritous white applicants being arbritarily rejected, nevermind their academic qualifications, experience or socio-economic status.Instead of ensuring that all meritous applicants, regardless of race, be allowed an equal chance to compete, non-meritous black applicants are given preference over skilled white applicants - pure racial engineering. In South Africa the ANC uses demographic and occupational statistics in an attempt to justify its' heinous racial engineering agenda.The strategy being pursued by the racist ANC regime demands that the majority of skilled positions available in the economy be occupied by blacks, and imposes substantial financial penalties, and refuses lucrative government tenders, to those organisations who fail to comply speedily enough.This effectively dooms an entire generation of young, white South African males to a future of poverty, regardless of their educational level.This is tantamount to ethnic cleansing and ethnic cleansing is Genocide. This, not crime, is the primary reason for the brain drain from South Africa as many white males would otherwise be reduced to the level of beggars.
Affirmative Action is a Gross Human Rights Violation and must be declared a Crime Against Humanity.
It goes without saying that its' victims should be paid substantial reparations for the economic, psychological and emotional trauma they suffered by having their basic human rights violated by Nazis style social engineering.

In South Africa defenceless white males are prevented by legisaltion from receiving equal access to wealth, opportuinity, tertiary education and training - all justified by the ANC governments' racial engineering strategy.The silence of the Western media on this matter(particularly the BBC)borders on the criminal.(The ANC controlled media does not deserve mention as it is merely a propaganda engine.)

Clueless in Seattle.......2000-09-25

Beckwith and Jones perform an excellent service by admitting to the difficulty of this important issue by sharing intelligent observations from both sides of the table. "Reader in Seattle" is just another clueless woman whose ignorant comments admit to her bigotry.

Intelligent, open-minded readers will enjoy this collection.

Not useful to those of us combatting sexism and racism.......1999-07-31

Gender, race, and class are what A.A. addresses, not the hurt feelings of a few clueless white males. As a feminist who happens to be a white Woman, I'm challenging the paradigms of gender and race imposed upon us by elitist white males. As a graduate of Stanford, I renew my committment to fighting those people who would take diversity away from our campuses, not just in California but everywhere. Let's rememeber then, someday white males will need Affirmative Action!!!!

From the supplier: The history of black civil rights movement from the time of Dred Scott in 1846 until 1972 is reviewed. Dred Scott is attributed as the founder of the black civil rights movement when he sued his masters for his and his family's freedom in 1846. Another notable figure in the fight for equality for blacks is Rosa Parks who refused to give her bus seat to a white man. Her defiance led to the emergence of Martin Luther King Jr. as a national figure, the Montgomery bus boycott and various civil rights organizations.

Very complete but not a "how to.." guide.

Very Difficult to Follow.......2007-03-19

I found the book to be very difficult to follow in that it seems to be written for graduate level courses on the subject, with very little practical application. The book provides a detailed literature review but it is a bit dated. There is nothing about the rise of private equity and hedge funds in recent years. The book would also benefit from the use of more examples. Its sheer size and number of chapters makes it a bit disjointed.

You should own this book..........2007-02-14

... if you have any interest in M&A. But your professors must have already told you so!

Simply the best text on M&A.......2007-01-27

After attending an executive program in mergers and acquisitions, I decided to purchase this book after reviewing a variety of books on the subject. I also own Arzac's book, but it is only applicable to valuation.

This book is simply the best text on M&A and it has served as a nice supplament to program that I attended. Between the program and reading this book, I now feel like I am an expert on the subject.

Arzac's book on valuation provides the final topping on the subject manner.

Nice Nice Book.......2006-04-10

very nice overview on MnA. Good introduction and provides references for those who wanna dig into specific topics.

However, this is a general overview for a wide range of MnA topics, you will not gain a specific expertise from this book.

For me, the most useful way of learning a topic like MnA is by actually looking at spreadsheets and exhibits instead of reading bunge of writings. This book has many nice exhibits/tables to demonstrate the calculations, so after the reading, I can look at the exhibits/spreadsheets to see if I understand how the numbers are calculated.

this should be the first read, arzac should be followed up to gain a more solid background in valuation.

No comments on the CDROM, I didn't buy it.

Book Description

The material employs the problem method in tandem with case dissection to develop students' interest, enlarge their store of knowledge, and require them to exercise analytical thinking not only in the classroom, but also while doing their assignments. Covers aspects of the agreement process, consideration, moral obligation, and consideration. Also includes sections on third-party beneficiaries, assignment and delegation, statute of frauds, and discharge of contracts.

Good Book for first year law students.......2000-06-07

The first year of law school was very difficult. It was refreshing to use this casebook that so clearly outlined the law of contracts.

The best part about the book is the problems after every section of cases. These problems allowed me to realize whether I understood that type of contract.

The worse part about the book is that the hornbook is a newer edition. So, although Calamari does an excellent job laying out the law, the labels (that tell you which sections in the hornbook to read) do not always correspond.

Poor Casebook.......2007-07-30

zanandjayna's review sums up much about how I feel about this casebook.

Other complaints that I had is that the notes/comments sections are quite poor and are usually of little relevance to the case and/or concept you just studied. Also many of the cases have been poorly edited, leaving out key concepts that most prof's expect you to know.

All in all, this is a poor casebook. If you use it i recomend a good supplement.

Great Casebook.......2005-11-10

In comparison to the other casebooks I've been forced to read this year as a 1L, this casebook is probably the best written. Instead of just placing emphasis on the cases and the rules to glean from them, it also highlights key principles and strategies to use as a lawyer in the future(termed lawyering by the authors). I must admit that taking Nathan Crystal's contract class obviously helps in the understanding of the book, but it's a good regardless.

Great Seller.......2005-09-11

This seller is great, the book is in great condition and I paid half of what everyone else paid, not to mention the fact that the bookstore sold out and I was one of the only people in my class that had a book. Great seller, great conditioned book, fast shipping. Thanks!!!

best casebook out there.......2003-12-22

This casebook was, by far, the best casebook I had as a 1L. It was well-organized, insightful, and clear. The author notes did much to clarify the complexities of contract law. As a student of Knapp's I'm probably a bit biased, but I did effectively learn my contracts.

Ugh..........2003-12-06

This book is extremely tedious. The authors use extensive language, commentary, and notes which further confuse and do not explain the already-difficult concepts presented in the cases.

Not for pleasure reading. This book is used in Contracts Law classes; if your professor is not one who likes explaining things to any great extent I highly suggest purchasing a supplement or two to help you understand on your own.

find an old edition of this book if the editions are similar. The cases in it are old so the law isn't really changing so if you can tolerate not being on the exact same page in class & can deal with figuring out the different pages save your money since this text is hard to follow! the notes and problems aren't helpful

Just terrible.......2005-05-05

I had Crandall (one of the authors) for Contracts my first year of law school. We unfortunately had to use this wretched book. What's funny is that he kept referring us to Farnsworth and Murray if we needed extra help with the material. Turns out that Farnsworth and Murray were so good, you didn't need even need to read the cases. This awful case book is such a POS, it's not worth the paper on which its written.

The case book itself was poorly edited, and the authors' comments/explanations may as well have been written in Chinese. To me it is quite clear that this book was a way for the authors and Aspen Publishing to make $ as it added absolutely nothing that didn't already exist in the Contracts case book market.

Does not cover all that it could........1997-11-17

Example contracts are limited in scope. They are for accountants doing audits and engineers doing design and as a result are difficult to generalize on. Does not cover international contract and fee problems. Sections on generating exposure and finding a niche are well written but off of the topic.

Best textbook I have this semester.......2003-11-30

I disagree with the other review of this book. The she/her thing is not distracting at all. Compared to my Torts/Property books, this book is very well laid-out. There is plenty of text in between cases to explain the concepts. The main thing I don't like is that some of the cases they include are not on-point except for in dicta. Seems like they should have been able to find better cases that were more on-point. I think this book is also weak on its (jumbled) explanation of damages. Otherwise, I really like it.

gender problems.......2003-09-10

This book is seriously marred by the authors' slavish adherence to the use of the feminine in their prose. You will be driven to distraction throughout this text by the shes and hers which abound. This distraction is particularly unwelcome as you are, of course, trying to learn something else altogether that happens to be a bit difficult. Perhaps another forum would be more appropriate for gender indoctrination - a forum where there isn't a serious purpose to be compromised. If you must work with this text, scan it, OCR it, and then global replace. He for she, his for hers, him for her, you get the idea. Then you've got a workable text. A bit too much work for the price, though, if you ask me.

Book Description

The purpose of this book is to reduce the lack of knowledge of International Sales by creating teaching materials which have CISG as their primary focus. The materials present a systematic examination of the difficult issues that arise out of the international sales transaction. In addition to analyzing the usual litigation situations, the materials also present issues concerning lawyers as problem-solvers planning and structuring transactions so as to allocate risks and avoid litigation. The book is designed for a two credit hour course and is built around a series of problems which systematically examine the various provisions of CISG. CISG cases, both U.S. and foreign, are also set forth. However, since many of the foreign cases are not in English, they are often available only as abstracts through UNCITRAL (CLOUT cases) and UNILEX. The book therefore presents the CLOUT and UNILEX abstracts, which are copyrighted by UNCITRAL and the Rome Institute, respectively, and reprinted with permission. Since CISG is a composite of both civil law and common law concepts, also included are readings that explain these civil law concepts, where they arise in CISG. There are also "Legislation Notes" which explain the UCC Article 2 concepts, when the CISG and the UCC are markedly different. However, the focus throughout is on CISG, and the civil law and UCC readings are explanatory.

Book Description

Rhizobia are bacteria which inhabit the roots of plants in the pea family and "fix" atmospheric nitrogen for plant growth. They are thus of enormous economic importance internationally and the subject of intense research interest. Handbook for Rhizobia is a monumental book of practical methods for working with these bacteria and their plant hosts. Topics include the general microbiological properties of rhizobia and their identification, their potential as symbionts, methods for inoculating rhizobia onto plants, and molecular genetics methods for Rhizobium in the laboratory. The book will be invaluable to Rhizobium scientists, soil microbiologists, field and laboratory researchers at agricultural research centers, agronomists, and crop scientists.
