From Diversity in the Power Elite by Richard Zweigenhaft and G. William Domhoff
This article looks at the composition, causes, and meaning of the new racial/ethnic and gender diversity in the American elite in recent decades. The authors maintain that progress in access has been only partial and is largely illusory, and dynamics associated with recruitment and marginalized placement among the elite of minorities and women obscures the continuing reality of long-standing class inequities in American society.
-The authors view the legacy of racial discrimination as not being sufficiently accounted for among those who oppose affirmative action.
