From cover:
Inequality and the American Conscience is a study of justice through the legal system. The author presents the history of the famous Bakke case, together with the context out of which it grew. He carefully analyzes complex issues involved in the litigation before the Supreme Court. He presents these arguments in the context of the struggle of the American society to deal with equality and fairness when questions of race, sex, and national origin are involved
The continuing search for equality and fairness for all citizens is still a complex and imperative task. This book will help those committed to the search for equality and fairness for all to appreciate the probing, reflecting, testing, making judgements and revising them that any progress demands.
Christopher F. Mooney, S.J., past president of Woodstock Theological College, is presently assistant to the president at Fairfield University, Fairfield, Connecticut.
