The Social Psychology of Everyday Politics examines the ways in
which politics permeates everyday life, from the ordinary
interactions we have with others to the sense of belonging and
identity developed within social groups and communities.
Discrimination, prejudice, inclusion and social change, politics is
an on-going process that is not solely the domain of the elected
and the powerful. Using a social and political psychological lens
to examine how politics is enacted in contemporary societies, the
book takes an explicitly critical approach that places political
activity within collective processes rather than individual
behaviors. While the studies covered in the book do not ignore the
importance of the individual, they underscore the need to examine
the role of culture, history, ideology and social context as
integral to psychological processes. Individuals act, but they do
not act in isolation from the groups and societies in which they
belong. Drawing on extensive international research, with
contributions from leaders in the field as well as emerging
scholars, the book is divided into three interrelated parts which
cover: The politics of intercultural relations Political agency and
social change Political discourse and practice Offering insights
into how psychology can be applied to some of the most pressing
social issues we face, this will be fascinating reading for
students of psychology, political science, sociology and cultural
studies, as well as anyone working in the area of public policy.
