When Affirmative Action Was White
by Ira KatznelsonNot on Booklabria yet
Synopsis
Many mid 20th century American government programs created to help citizens survive and improve ended up being heavily biased against African-Americans. Katznelson documents this white affirmative action, and argues that its existence should be an important part of the argument in support of late 20th century affirmative action programs.
