Convinced of the appropriateness of affirmative action for case studies in constitutional law, the authors offer their treatment as a model for constitutional studies. Covering constitutional and statutory provisions, regulations, and case law, they interweave commentary and analysis in their discussion of affirmative action's origin and growth and their examinations of its impact on American society.
