I feel you CONSTANCE The book is very real and I loved each chapter. I called my baby sister(the baby of 13) and read some of the preface to her and we reflected upon our own lives of "poverty in the raw." I "felt" the author because we have been there and done that. The book is really open and honest. All individuals of poverty in american can be proud that one of us made it out. We will all one day tell our story. This book provoked me to go ahead and get the law degree. Law is the rule of our experience. Thanks. Liz and Jean said Heartfelt voice. Bryan Fair's book is both analitical and personal demonstration of why affirmative action is still necessary in this country, despite all the diatribe against it these days. Based at the University of Alabama and familiar with the administrative practicalities of implmenting affirmative action programs, Fair gives a wake-up call to all those white males who seem to think that affirmative action's time is past and it's finished it's work.Fair points out that we'd be creating a minority underclass without AA, and how this would increase tension and
At the heart of their deals was a clear race-conscious intent to place the interests of whites above those of blacks.In this provocative and important book, Fair, the eighth of ten children born to a single mother on public assistance in an Ohio ghetto, combines two histories—America's and his own—to offer a compelling defense of affirmative action.

He concludes that the only just and effective way in which to account for America's racial past and to negotiate current racial quagmires is to embrace a remedial affirmative action that relies neither on quotas nor fiery rhetoric, but one which takes race into account alongside other pertinent factors.Championing the model of diversity on which the United States was pu

"I was a special admit student at Duke, one of the new students ?black as well as white?from around the country that would bring greater diversity to the class of 1982," reports Fair, who notes that though he had almost all A's in high school, his SAT scores "were far below Duke's median." Fair adroitly combines legal and personal history but the book is sometimes marred by an excessively polemical tone. Fair g
