About This Item
New Brunswick, NJ Rutgers University Press, 1992. Paperback First Ed thus; unstated. Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: binding shows the slightest spine lean, but remains perfectly secure; text clean. Just a hint of wear to extremities; mildest rubbing. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 246pp. First Ed thus; unstated. University Press Paperback. The great virtue of Takagi's book is its insistence on the ideological significance of affirmative action in current debates about the nature and purpose of higher education. She provides a clear and coherent account of the various subterfuges that are used to avoid confronting the issues of race in the academic world.
