Product Description

The Constitution of the United States, writes Bryan Fair, was a series of compromises between white male propertyholders: Southern planters and Northern merchants. At the heart of their deals was a clear race-conscious intent to place the interests of whites above those of blacks.

Heartfelt voice
Bryan Fair's book is both analitical and personal demonstration of why affirmative action is still necessary in this country, despite all the diatribe against it these days.Based at the University of Alabama and familiar with the administrative practicalities of implmenting affirmative action programs, Fair gives a wake-up call to all those white males who seem to think that affirmative action's time is past and it's finished it's work.

Fair points out that we'd be creating a minority underclass without AA, and how this would increase tension and make society worse for everyone, minority or not.Most tellingly, Fair inserts his own personal experience as a child in a family with 10 kids.With no AA, people like him wouldve been left behind.An important read.

We will all one day tell our story. This bookprovoked me to go ahead and get the law degree. Law is the rule of ourexperience. Thanks ... Read more
