Description

Affirmative Action and the Stalled Quest for Black Progress by W. Avon Drake, Robert D. Holsworth Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description W. Avon Drake and Robert D. Holsworth focus on the landmark case of Richmond v. Croson. In that case, the Supreme Court ruled against the city of Richmond's set-aside program requiring that thirty percent of the money in municipal construction contracts go to minority-owned firms. The authors describe the politics that gave rise to the set-aside program, investigate its actual operation, explore its effects, and detail responses to it in both black and white communities. As they show, the program served important political purposes but produced limited economic benefits for the Black community. Drake and Holsworth conclude by examining the politics of development as an alternative to the set-aside framework. Insightful and path-breaking, Affirmative Action and the Stalled Quest for Black Progress examines the accomplishments and limitations of the set-aside programs once at the center of political debates about affirmative action in the United States. Author Biography W. Avon Drake (d. 2008) was an associate professor of political science in Virginia Commonwealth University's School L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs. Robert D. Holsworth is a founding director for the Center for Public Policy at Virginia Commonwealth University and serves on the Board of Visitors of Virginia Commonwealth University. He is the coauthor of The Indispensable University. Details ISBN 0252065395 ISBN-13 9780252065392 Title Affirmative Action and the Stalled Quest for Black Progress Author W. Avon Drake, Robert D.

  1. Book arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.
