Book Synopsis
By addressing, through empirical research, the many facets of racial dynamics in higher education, this timely book offers not only strong arguments for the necessity of affirmative action policies, but also ways of building a research agenda that tests notions of fairness, merit, and the benefits of diversity.

Trade Review
"This volume is important and timely in light of the legal challenges to affirmative action. Whatever the outcome of the cases, higher education institutions will need the knowledge imparted in this book as they strive to achieve ethnic and racial diversity in their student bodies and faculties. It will also be important for scholars interested in late adolescent-early adulthood development and the role of race in America." -Patricia Y. Gurin,University of Michigan
