What causes some people to stand in solidarity with those from
other races, religions, or nationalities, even when that solidarity
does not seem to benefit the individual or their group? Seeing Us
in Them examines outgroup empathy as a powerful predisposition in
politics that pushes individuals to see past social divisions and
work together in complex, multicultural societies. It also reveals
racial/ethnic intergroup differences in this predisposition, rooted
in early patterns of socialization and collective memory. Outgroup
empathy explains why African Americans vehemently oppose the border
wall and profiling of Arabs, why Latinos are welcoming of Syrian
refugees and support humanitarian assistance, why some white
Americans march in support of Black Lives Matter through a
pandemic, and even why many British citizens oppose Brexit.
Outgroup empathy is not naive; rather it is a rational and
necessary force that helps build trust and maintain stable
democratic norms of compromise and reciprocity.
