Benign Bigotry: The Psychology of Subtle Prejudice,
By
This review is from: Benign Bigotry: The Psychology of Subtle Prejudice (Paperback)
Our women's group read "Benign Bigotry: The Psychology of Subtle Prejudice" by Dr. Kristin J. Anderson. We discussed the many groups often stereotyped by others. Following the author's chapter headings "Those people all look alike," "They must be guilty of something," "Feminists are man-haters, and "Gays flaunt their sexuality", for example, we did some deep soul-searching and found ourselves guilty. These myths are not so subtle and never benign. Dr. Anderson is positive in her approach, identifying the myths and encouraging everyone to exercise empathy toward stigmatized groups. This book could be used in a college course or by any person or group interested in exploring discrimination and prejudice in today's society.
