Rezensionen

"Jayakumar and Garces bring together a breathtaking collection of essays that compellingly reveal not merely the educational, legal, and social contexts of the Fisher case, but also the contested and compromised work of strategizing responses that are both driven by larger visions of equity even while situated in ever-evolving contexts. Affirmative Action and Racial Equity is crucial for justice work, not only in higher education, but also in education more broadly."

--Kevin Kumashiro, Dean of the School of Education, University of San Francisco

"This important volume is not only about affirmative action; it is also about the future of higher education. The scholars in this book look at the continuing legal battle over affirmative action as policy and offer a perspective on diversity that imagines a promising path toward racial equity. A must-read for higher education scholars and leaders alike."

--anthony lising antonio, Associate Professor of Education, Stanford University

"Drawing from a wide range of empirical evidence providing testimony to the harms associated with racial isolation in fully achieving the educational benefits of diversity for all students, the essays highlight the broader societal mandate we face as we contemplate a world that is at risk of leaving too much talent behind by failing to educate those who can lead this diverse nation forward. A very well done and timely assessment of a pressing global mandate."

--Nancy Cantor, Chancellor, Rutgers University-Newark
