Affirmative Action and the Creation of More Favorable Contexts of Choice.
Moses, Michele S.
American Educational Research Journal, v38 n1 p3-36 Spr 2001
Presents an analysis of affirmative action policy that takes into account students vastly different social contexts of choice. Defends affirmative action as necessary because of its role in combating oppressive educational structures, fostering more favorable social contexts of choice for students, and thus supporting self-determination.
