W. Avon Drake and Robert D. Holsworth focus on the landmark case of Richmond v. Croson. In that case, the Supreme Court ruled against the city of Richmond's setaside program requiring that thirty percent of the money in municipal construction contracts go to minorityowned firms. The authors describe the politics that gave rise to the setaside program, investigate its actual operation, explore its effects, and detail responses to it in both black and white communities. As they show, the program served important political purposes but produced limited economic benefits for the Black community. Drake and Holsworth conclude by examining the politics of development as an alternative to the setaside framework.Insightful and pathbreaking, Affirmative Action and the Stalled Quest for Black Progress examines the accomplishments and limitations of the setaside programs once at the center of political debates about affirmative action in the United States.
