Michele S. Moses Boeken

Michele Moses presents a compelling analysis of race-conscious educational policies, including bilingual education, multicultural curricula, affirmative action, and remedial education. She argues that these policies are essential for empowering students of color and those from low-income backgrounds, promoting self-determination and personal autonomy. The book explores the intricate relationship between race, education, and social justice, addressing critical questions about how educational systems can better serve marginalized students and ensure equitable opportunities for all.

In this book, Michele S. Moses offers a crucial new way for thinking about the affirmative action debate, one that holds up the debate itself as an important emblem of the democratic process. Central to her analysis is the argument that we need to understand disagreements about affirmative action as products of conflicts between deeply held beliefs about race consciousness as either a pernicious political force or a necessary variable in political equality. --Back cover.
