Affirmative Action and Beyond: A Case for a Backward-Looking Gender- and Race-Based Policy.
Feinberg, Walter
Teachers College Record, v97 n3 p362-99 Spr 1996
Defends race- and gender-based affirmative action against recent attacks by liberals and conservatives, arguing that a need-based approach is not an adequate substitute and demonstrating that there are three independent moral foundations for a race and gender approach that are not adequately met by the need-based alternative which would make affirmative action class sensitive.
