Annotation: In Justice, Gender, and Affirmative Action, Susan D. Clayton and Faye J. Crosby shed new light on a controversial policy. The authors argue that because society cannot rely upon individuals' perceptions of unfair treatment, there must be a mechanism for the proactive prevention of discrimination. Affirmative Action provides such a mechanism, as its operation doesn't require that a victim of discrimination come forward on her own behalf.

Publisher Description:
Susan D. Clayton and Faye J. Crosby argue that the existence of racism and sexism in our society makes affirmative action both fair and necessary. They contend that because individuals cannot be relied on to perceive that they are being unfairly treated, society needs a mechanism for the proactive prevention of discrimination. Affirmative action provides such a mechanism, for its operation doesn't require a victim of discrimination to come forward on her own behalf.
