What is Affirmative Action and Representation : Shaw v. Reno and the Future of Voting Rights about?

<p>the Supreme Court's 1993 Decision, Shaw V. Reno, Was A Bellwether In Equal Protection Litigation, Marking A Significant Turn Away From Earlier Voting Rights Jurisprudence. Did Shaw, And Subsequent Supreme Court Cases Reaffirming Its Holding, Signal The End To Affirmative Action In Redistricting, The Beginning Of A Wholesale Re-examination Of The Voting Rights Act Of 1965? The Essays In This Collection Address This Question, And Related Issues, With A View To Assessing The Implications Of The Supreme Court's 1990s Voting Rights Law. Balancing Contributions From Advocates And Critics Of Affirmative Action In Voting Rights, The Book Focuses On Three Issues That Have Emerged As Determinative In 1990s Voting Rights Litigation: (1) The Significance Of Shaw And Post-shaw Jurisprudence; (2) Alternative Models Of Representation That Have Become Increasingly Important As The Supreme Court Has Intensified Its Scrutiny Of Race-conscious Districting; And (3) The Applicability Of The Voting Rights Act To Judicial Elections, An Issue Left Unaffected By Shaw. A Postscript Examining The Supreme Court's 1996 Decisions, Bush V. Vera And Shaw V. Hunt, Is Also Provided.</p><h3>donald J. Farole</h3><
