Book Description

0072554436 978-0072554434 October 22, 2002 1
This anthology, edited by Scott Plous, can be used as a main text or supplementary text for courses on prejudice, discrimination, and diversity. It includes a unique collection of readings edited, adapted, or updated specifically for this anthology — some of which have never been published before. Interdisciplinary in scope and wide-ranging in approach, the anthology combines research articles, opinion polls, legal decisions, news reports, personal narratives, and more. Several readings come from people on the receiving end of prejudice (often referred to as "targets" of prejudice), whereas other readings focus on perpetrators, bystanders, and social institutions. Note: The book can also be used in conjunction with UnderstandingPrejudice.org, a web site that includes interactive exercises and demonstrations, multimedia materials, tips for instructors, and other prejudice-related resources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, July 19, 2005
This review is from: Understanding Prejudice and Discrimination (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to learn about prejudice and disrimination. It is comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics. It is also very interesting to read. A must for anyone who wants to learn about prejudice then and prejudice now. It is a misconception that prejudice and discrimination is a thing of the past or something that was dealt with in the sixties. This book will show you how racism still exists today in a much more subtle ( and sometimes not so subtle ) form. I recommend this book to professors who are teaching classes on prejudice and discrimination.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Information On Past Events, February 1, 2010

This review is from: Understanding Prejudice and Discrimination (Paperback)
I bought this book for a educational psychology course. Typically, I never keep my books after the semester ends. However, this book I decided to keep, because there is so much information about event in America that I have never heard about. This book covers many multicultural historical events and aspects that are important in my opinion to know.
