Stereotypes and Prejudice cover

This book contains a collection of classic and contemporary readings that have contributed to our understanding of stereotypes and prejudice from a social-psychological perspective. The selected readings all make an important theoretical contribution, but have also been chosen with an eye on their accessibility and appeal to students.

The volume also includes an overall review of the current state of knowledge in the field, discussion questions, and a list of relevant references. It will be ideal for courses on prejudice.

"'This text is engagingly written and well-organized. The author has deep expertise in this area, and the book represents considerable breadth and appropriate depth.'." -- John F. Dovidio, Colgate University
"'This is obviously going to be extremely useful for students and researchers interested in this very important field. The author - himself a major contributor to scholarship on the topic - has done a very good job in capturing the state of play in the field.'." -- S. Alexander Haslam, Australian National University
"'To summarize the vast literature on stereotyping and prejudice in one chapter and to provide a list of key readings is an almost impossible job. Nevertheless, in his introductory chapter, Stangor does an admirable job of introducing students to the relevant issues, and does so in an easy-going and engaging manner.'." -- Neil Macrae, University of Bristol
"'This is an excellent and highly informative book. Stangor has breathed new life into the topic of sterotypes and prejudice.'." -- Karen Officer, James Watt College, Kilwinning
