This volume investigates why humans have felt the need to
demonstrate power throughout history. It addresses how those from
less powerful groups have struggled to gain power and how their
group affiliations have helped them to do so. This book also shows
that humans seek to control and have power over others.
Consequently, hierarchies are developed and characteristics are
applied to differentiate those who are in or out of power. The
authors take an honest and systematic approach to the difficult,
but relevant issue of minority groups. Houser and Ham present a
historical perspective for each minority group and show how they
have lacked power and control. They discuss the current status of
each group's affiliation and power. Examples from specific cases
are used to illustrate how power can be gained and how
discrimination still exists. The volume concludes by discussing how
group affiliation can be used to gain power. This unique book will
be valuable to those interested in psychology, sociology, and
education.
