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.
