Racing for Innocence addresses this question by examining the backlash against affirmative action in the late 1980's and early 1990's-just as courts, universities, and other institutions began to end affirmative action programs. This book recounts the stories of elite legal professionals at a large corporation with a federally mandated affirmative action program, as well as the cultural narratives about race, gender, and power in the news media and Hollywood films.
