Description
Benign Bigotry: The Psychology of Subtle Prejudice offers a comprehensive examination of the psychological mechanisms underlying subtle forms of discrimination. Written by Kristin J. Anderson and published by Cambridge University Press, this work delves into how prejudice manifests not through overt hostility, but through everyday interactions and unconscious biases.
The book explores the paradox of individuals who consider themselves egalitarian yet engage in discriminatory behaviors. Anderson investigates the psychological roots of benign bigotry, demonstrating how social conditioning, cognitive biases, and implicit attitudes contribute to perpetuating inequality. Through research and analysis, the author reveals how these subtle prejudices impact marginalized communities across various social contexts, from workplace environments to educational settings.
This essential read is valuable for psychologists, sociologists, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of prejudice and discrimination in modern society.
