The Color Bind The Campaign to End Affirmative Action Paperback - 1998
by Lydia Chávez
"The Color Bind" tells the story of how two unknown academics wrote Proposition 209 in 1992, thereby setting in motion a series of events, far beyond their control, destined to transform the legal, political, and everyday meaning of civil rights for the next generation.
First line
The 1994 midterm elections represented the biggest loss for an incumbent president since 1946, when Harry Truman lost fifty-five Democratic seats.
From the rear cover
"Lydia Chvez's The Color Bind is a compelling narrative, accomplished with a scholar's attention to sources and accuracy, of how a political initiative unfolded from start to finish. Chvez explores an emotionally-charged political terrain with a deft and even hand by letting the events and players speak for themselves, thus making this book accessible to the broadest readership. . . . Work of this caliber exemplifies the value of objective journalism."--Sandy Close, Executive Editor, Pacific News Service
