Book excerpt: Going beyond the affirmative action-psychology association with debates over IQ tests and race, this volume reviews theoretical perspectives (justice theories, attitude and trait theories) and empirical studies relevant to the diverse responses evoked in organizations and individuals by programs attempting to redress past inequities in hiring.
