Affirmative Action - CL

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fiscus, Ronald J. / Wasby, Stephen L. / Fish, Stanley, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, Few issues are as mired in rhetoric and controversy as affirmative action. This is certainly no less true now as when Ronald J. Fiscus's "The Constitutional Logic of Affirmative Action" was first published in . The controversy has, perhaps, become more charged over the past few years. With this compelling and rigorously reasoned argument for a constitutional rationale of affirmative action, Fiscus clarifies the moral and legal ramifications of this complex subject and presents an important view in the context of the ongoing debate. Beginning with a distinction drawn between principles of compensatory and distributive justice, Fiscus argues that the former, although often the basis for judgments made in individual discrimination cases, cannot sufficiently justify broad programs of affirmative action. Only a theory of distributive justice, one that assumes minorities have a right to what they would have gained proportionally in a nonracist society, can persuasively provide that justification. On this basis, the author argues in favor of proportional racial quotas--and challenges the charge of "reverse discrimination" raised in protest in the name of the "innocent victims" of affirmative action--as an action necessary to approach the goals of fairness and equality. "The Constitutional Logic of Affirmative Action" focuses on Supreme Court affirmative action rulings from "Bakke" () to "Croson" () and includes an epilogue by editor Stephen L. Wasby that considers developments through . General readers concerned with racial justice, affirmative action, and public policy, as well as legal specialists and constitutional scholars will find Fiscus's argument passionate, balanced, and persuasive.

Imperfection and Impartiality: A Liberal Theory of Social

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wissenburg, M. L. J. / Wissenburg, Marcel L. J. / Marcel, Wissenburg, PUBLISHER: Routledge, This text argues, from a liberal perspective, for a radical re- interpretation of existing ideas concerning social justice. Since the s there has been debate between liberals and their critics, Concerning The Use Of Impartiality As A Notion On Which To Base Social theories of justice. In introducing an impartial standard of the right, the implications are often sexist, anthropocentric, capitalistic and oppressive. Wissenberg argues that this does not mean we should abandon the ideal of impartiality and defends the thesis that impartiality and the liberal project can be saved.; The book explores a liberal theory of Justice That Takes The Core Notion Of Impartiality Seriously; That Takes account of moral pluralism without trying to downgrade it or reduce it to the rank of a secondary problem; that argues for principles of justice Respecting Individual Notions Of The Good Life Rather Than Reformulating them in terms of one universal measure of the good or the right; that cherishes plurality, diversity and tolerance instead of uniformity and moral indifference.

Criminal Injustice: Racism in the Criminal Justice System

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Neugebauer, Robynne, PUBLISHER: Canadian Scholars Press, This volume examines racism within the process of criminal justice. In every society criminal justice plays a key role establishing social control and maintaining the hegemony of the dominant economic classes. The contributors to this anthology argue that the differential treatment of people of colour and First Nations peoples is due to systemic racism within all levels of the criminal justice system, which serves these dominant classes. Ideological and cultural changes are preconditions for the success of anti-racist policies and practices within the criminal justice system and within other state institutions. Recommendations for transformations in justice policy and practice are provided. Robynne Neugebauer is Assistant Professor in Sociology at York University. Her research and teaching focus on criminology, policing, inequality in criminal justice, and wife assault; racism; education; and aging. Her books include Seniors and Sexuality: Experiencing Intimacy in Later Life; Aging and Inequality: Cultural Constructions of Differences; Racism and Institutional Change: Readings in Anti-Racism in Criminal Justice, Education, Health and Social Services; and Police-Community Relations (forthcoming).

The Making of an Economic Vision: John Paul II's on Social

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Houck John W / Williams, Oliver F., PUBLISHER: University Press of America, How do we realize economic justice in our global society? What is economic justice? Are materialism, consumerism, and capitalism a threat or a promise to a peaceful earth? There is one voice that continues to offer a prophetic challenge both to Marxist collectivism and capitalism. Pope John Paul II has authored On Social Concern that has much to say to our times. Is the religious social teaching in this document in such contrast to the prevailing wisdom of political economy that it might properly be called countercultural? Does this teaching offer a new vision, a different way of interpreting economic events? The Notre Dame Center for Ethics and Religious Values in Business convened a symposium to address these issues, assembling business executives, labor leaders and scholars.

Ethics in Criminal Justice: A Justice Professional Reader

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Schmalleger, Frank M., PUBLISHER: Wyndham Hall Press, "While many people", says Schmalleger, "the public and criminal justice professionals included, believe they lead ethical lives, they may find themselves, when pressed, hard put to define exactly what ethics is. Most definitions equate ethics with morality, and avow that the study of ethics is to be primarily concerned with behavior and the standards of right and wrong which govern behavior. Beyond the definitional level, however, agreement is difficult to achieve. The plurality of norms and values applicable to behavior among diverse social groups in our multi-cultural society complicate any ethical discussion. Attempts at specifying ethical codes or enumerating the values upon which such codes should be based are bound to meet with vigorous debate. This overview of ethical instruction in criminal justice today is intended to offer a description of teaching strategies and curricular goals. Many of the articles in this volume will maintain a theme of how ethics can best be taught to students of criminal justice and how society at large can best learn the same lessons. Other selections herein offer in-depth analysis of particular ethical dilemmas or aspects of professional life.

A Short History of Distributive Justice

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fleischacker, Samuel, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Distributive justice in its modern sense calls on the state to guarantee that everyone is supplied with a certain level of material means. Samuel Fleischacker argues that guaranteeing aid to the poor is a modern idea, developed only in the last two centuries. Earlier notions of justice, including Aristotle's, were concerned with the distribution of political office, not of property. It was only in the eighteenth century, in the work of philosophers such as Adam Smith and Immanuel Kant, that justice began to be applied to the problem of poverty. To attribute a longer pedigree to distributive justice is to fail to distinguish between justice and charity. Fleischacker explains how confusing these principles has created misconceptions about the historical development of the welfare state. Socialists, for instance, often claim that modern economics obliterated ancient ideals of equality and social justice. Free-market promoters agree but applaud the apparent triumph of skepticism and social-scientific rigor. Both interpretations overlook the gradual changes in thinking that yielded our current assumption that justice calls for everyone, if possible, to be lifted out of poverty. By examining major writings in ancient, medieval, and modern political philosophy, Fleischacker shows how we arrived at the contemporary meaning of distributive justice.

The Mark of the Social: Discovery or Invention?

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Greenwood, John D. / Gergen, Kenneth J., PUBLISHER: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Behavior, language, development, identity, and science all of these phenomena are commonly characterized as 'social' in nature. But what does it mean to be 'social'? Is there any intrinsic 'mark' of the social shared by these phenomena? In the first book to shed light on this foundational question, twelve distinguished philosophers and social scientists from several disciplines debate the mark of the social. Their varied answers will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, philosophers, psychologists, and anyone interested in the theoretical foundations of the social sciences.

Padres: The National Chicano Priest Movement

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Martinez, Richard Edward, PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, "This is a powerful documentary of a movement whose greatest visibility was in the barrios and inside the church, where the least history is known, where much uncovering has to be accomplished in order for the Chicano community to begin to know its own Catholic history." -- Rodolfo Rosales, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Texas at San Antonio From the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo to the s, Mexican American Catholics experienced racism and discrimination within the U.S. Catholic church, as white priests and bishops maintained a racial divide in all areas of the church's ministry. To oppose this religious apartheid and challenge the church to minister fairly to all of its faithful, a group of Chicano priests formed PADRES (Padres Asociados para Derechos Religiosos, Educativos y Sociales, or Priests Associated for Religious, Educational, and Social Rights) in . Over the next twenty years of its existence, PADRES became a powerful force for change within the Catholic church and for social justice within American society. This book offers the first history of the founding, activism, victories, and defeats of PADRES. At the heart of the book are oral history interviews with the founders of PADRES, who describe how their ministries in poor Mexican American parishes, as well as their own experiences of racism and discrimination within and outside the church, galvanized them into starting and sustaining the movement. Richard Marti nez traces the ways in which PADRES was inspired by the Chicano movement and other civil rights struggles of the s and also probes its linkages with liberation theology in Latin America. He uses a combination ofsocial movement theory and organizational theory to explain why the group emerged, flourished, and eventually disbanded in .
