Equality on the Job: A Working Person's Guide to Affirmative Action

12mo, 116pp., illustrated. A very good copy in the publisher's stapled wraps. A few mild stains to wraps, else clean and crisp internally. A fantastic handbook geared towards working people who are struggling to incorporate affirmative action principles into their workplaces. The AAC was composed of several DC-based groups, including La Raza Legal Alliance, National Conference of Black Lawyers, National Lawyers Guild, the Center for Law and Social Policy and the Affirmative Action Coordinating Center. There are several illustrations depicting some of the hot-button issues around affirmative action, and placing it in a historical context. For example, one depicts a white colonial gentleman in a boat being pulled onto shore by two slaves, while a group of women begrudgingly prepare a meal nearby.The colonial chap says, "At last, America!! The land of freedom and equality!" Another shows a group of white and black workers struggling over a tug-of-war while the boss whistles without a care in the world. The next panel shows the workers, together, pulling the boss towards them, presumably to bend him towards their collective will. The content is a mix of legal resources, helpful guidelines, and discussions about the topic, all oriented towards practical, real-world application of affirmative action. OCLC records a healthy number of library holdings, but this volume is scarce in commerce.…
