From Booklist
Like Debating PC (1992), this anthology corrals mostly previously published articles on a public controversy. Affirmative action is a more consequential topic than PC (political correctness), for it bears not upon what is said in schools and in public--that is, upon words--but upon access to schools and jobs, which amounts to the abilities to pursue a career and earn a living. It's easy, in fact, to see affirmative action as the issue underlying PC, as Dinesh D'Souza does in his contribution here. In the introduction, editor Mills relays the historical context--the black civil rights movement and President Johnson's aggressiveness (continued by the Nixon administration) in seeing that African Americans became integrated into every aspect of U.S. society--out of which affirmative action arose. Mills cautions that there is not an even representation of pro and con opinions in the book, but he has seen to it that most of the voices that ought to be heard on the issue are. Ray Olson
