The objectives of the volume are to direct the field s attention
to the unique value of studying interactions between members of
different groups and to offer the most up-to-date summaries of
prominent and cutting-edge scholarship on this topic written by
leading scholars in the field.
A central theme of the volume is that improvement in intergroup
relationships will only be possible if social scientists
simultaneously take into account both the attitudes, beliefs,
emotions, and actions of the different groups that shape the nature
of intergroup relations. Understanding how members of different
groups interact is critical beyond the value of understanding how
majority groups behave and how minority groups respond in
isolation. Indeed, as the book exemplifies, groups interpret their
interaction differently, experiencing different social realities;
approach interactions with different goals; and engage each other
with different, and often non-compatible, means or strategies.
These different realities, goals, and strategies can produce
misunderstanding, suspicion, and conflict even when initial
intentions are positive and cooperative.
The book will be of interest to professionals and students in
social psychology, sociology, social work, education, political
science, and conflict management, as well as scholars, students,
and practitioners interested in anti-bias education and prejudice
reduction techniques and strategies.
