Hawthorne, NY: Aldine de Gruyter, 1994. $54.95 hardcover, $25.95 papercover. Equal employment opportunity has again become a topic of popular discussion. In these times of swaying public opinion regarding topics so central to the alleviation of income inequality, the systematic analysis of the history of employment discrimi- nation and the policies that attempt to eliminate it is essential. Pre-empting the recent interest in these issues, Paul Burstein has compiled a collection of articles that cut to the center of this debate. This book is part of a series on sociology and economics edited by Paula S. England, George Farkas, and Kevin Lang. It brings together, in one text, works on equal employment oppor- tunity from a variety of disciplines such as law, economics and sociology. The book is divided into eight sections containing articles that address a variety of topics related to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO). These include the historical background of discrimination against minorities and women, theories about dis- crimination, legal definitions of discrimination, economic and organizational consequences of equal opportunity laws, EEO in other countries, and the politics of EEO and affirmative action. It gives a comprehensive overview of the history and issues of equal employment opportunity in the United States. It succinctly conveys the vast accumulation of knowledge on this heavily re- searched subject found in several fields of study and presents them in an organized format. This book is suitable for students of in a variety of disci- plines including social policy, labor economics, sociology, law, and business. The comprehensive nature of this book makes it ideal reading for introductory classes in these fields as well as a good starting point for research in more advanced seminars on the subject.
