Book Reviews of When Affirmative Action Was White: An Untold History of Racial Inequality in Twentieth-Century America
Book Review: Good Read & Informative
Summary: 4 Stars
I like to read books that tell the truth, and this book fits the bill. My only complaint is that at page 140 he starts editorializing. Also you can't compare governmental policies that uplifted an entire class of people based on race, and purposely held down another to what we consider as Affirmative Action of Today. Otherwise the book is a worthwhile read.
