Although equal employment opportunity laws are often at the center of political debate, it has been difficult for students, teachers, and concerned citizens to learn about the controversy over EEO. Contributions to our understanding are scattered, this collection of writings is a broad interdisciplinary introduction to the struggle for EEO and its consequences. No other collection brings together articles on theories of dis-criminations; competing theories about the likely impact of EEO laws; analyses of the laws' impact on women, blacks, and other minorities; and debates about affirmative action.

Divided into seven overlapping sections, the articles range from a historical perspective of discrimination to the persistent affirmative action arguments of today... [T]his is an extremely engrossing book, and it belongs in all EEO professional libraries. Recommended for upper-division undergraduate through professional collections.-
