Improving Intergroup Relations



July 2012 | 360 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
This book is intended both as supplementary reading for courses and as a practical guidebook for individuals and programmes interested in reducing prejudice and improving intergroup relations. It provides the only comprehensive review and compilation of techniques for roving intergroup relations. There's a huge amount of literature on the causes and nature of prejudice, reflecting great interest in the topic, but the literature on prejudice reduction is more scattered, spread across a range of theoretical and applied sources. This book brings these literatures together, with an emphasis on helping to elucidate what works and why.

Conclusions

"The content is timely, important, and relevant to both academics and practitioners. Its organization would appeal to academics because of the comprehensive theoretical and research reviews it contains. It would appeal to practitioners because of its emphasis on the descriptions of techniques and practical resources for their implementation."
