Arguing from premises that virtually everyone on both sides of the debates over these issues already accepts, Boonin arrives at an unusual and unorthodox set of conclusions, one that is neither liberal nor conservative, color conscious nor color blind. Defended with the rigor that has characterized his previous work but written in a more widely accessible style, this provocative and important new book is sure to spark controversy and should be of interest to philosophers, legal theorists and anyone interested in trying to resolve the debate over these important and divisive issues. 0aRace relations 0aSlavery 0aReparations for historical injustices 0aAffirmative action programs 0aHate crimes08iPrint version: z978052176086740uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139003650
