Review :
"This book is mandatory reading for all higher education administrators. It is an excellent synthesis of policy, research, and practice. Affirmative Action's Testament of Hope is an excellent tool for students, faculty, administrators, policy makers, and anyone interested in higher education administration and governance." - Wynetta Y. Lee, North Carolina State University "It is a very thought-provoking book which addresses the legal and moral questions of democracy and pluralism; a powerful shot in the arm to affirmative action defenders and raises questions for its opponents." - Parker C. Johnson, Association of American Colleges and Universities "The topic is extremely significant for policy concerns. This book is useful for understanding the legal history of Affirmative Action." - Bruce Anthony Jones, University of Missouri-Columbia
