Description: Affirmative action is back in the headlines and promises to be one of the most divisive issues in American politics as we head toward the twenty-first century.

In Naked Racial Preference, distinguished philosopher Carl Cohen makes a careful, thought-provoking argument against the set of race-related policies now known loosely as "affirmative action." He examines landmark court cases from the past twenty years that have addressed racial quotas and goals, admission to law and medical schools, employment, and set-asides - including the recent Adarand case.
