It also moves the discussion beyond the theories, principles, and laws that have been so often debated to the actual empirical consequences of affirmative action in the United States and in India, Nigeria, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and other countries. Both common patterns and national differences are examined. Much of what emerges from a factual examination of these policies flatly contradicts much of what was expected and much of what has been claimed. 606 $aAffirmative action programs in education$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aDiscrimination in education$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aDiscrimination in employment$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aAffirmative action programs in education 615 0$aDiscrimination in education 615 0$aDiscrimination in employment 676 $a331.13/3 700 $aSowell$b Thomas$f1930-$0119994 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962827403321 996 $aAffirmative action around the world$91431745 997 $aUNINA
