Improving Intergroup Relations cover

Improving Intergroup Relations focuses on emerging research directions for improving intergroup relations, a field which has been largely influenced and inspired by the life contributions of Thomas F. Pettigrew. The book

  • Contains 18 original articles written in an accessible style by experts in psychology and related disciplines
  • Suggests practical strategies for improving intergroup relations
  • Looks at intergroup relations from the early influence of Dr. Pettigrew and how his seminal work has fostered many new developments in the field
  • Explores the implications of intergroup research for the promotion of social change

“Policymakers and practictioners will likely find the descriptions of the research accessible and meaningful.”  (Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, 17 October 2013)

”Each chapter in Improving Intergroup Relations is concise and readable and reports on exciting research findings in the field of intergroup relations.” (PsycCRITIQUES, April 2009)

"Tom Pettigrew’s research and writing has had a major impact on our understanding of prejudice, its causes and cures. This remarkable volume is both a tribute to Pettigrew’s influence and an extension of its reach. A must read for anyone interested in intergroup relations." Elliot Aronson, author of The Social Animal, Nobody Left to Hate, and Mistakes were Made (But Not By Me)
