With profound insight into the complexities of the human
experience, Harvard psychologist Gordon Allport organized a mass of
research to produce a landmark study on the roots and nature of
prejudice. First published in 1954, The Nature of Prejudice remains
the standard work on discrimination. Now this classic study is
offered in a special unabridged edition with a new introduction by
Kenneth Clark of Columbia University and a new preface by Thomas
Pettigrew of Harvard University.Allport's comprehensive and
penetrating work examines all aspects of this age-old problem: its
roots in individual and social psychology, its varieties of
expression, its impact on the individuals and communities. He
explores all kinds of prejudice-racial, religious, ethnic, economic
and sexual-and offers suggestions for reducing the devastating
effects of discrimination.The additional material by Clark and
Pettigrew updates the social-psychological research in prejudice
and attests to the enduring values of Allport's original theories
and insights.
"William James is a towering figure in the history of American
thought--without doubt the foremost psychologist this country has
produced. His depiction of mental life is faithful, vital, and
subtle. In verve, he has no equal. . . . "There is a sharp contrast
between the expanding horizon of James and the constricting horizon
of much contemporary psychology. The one opens doors to discovery,
the other closes them. Much psychology today is written in terms of
"reaction," little in terms of "becoming." James would say that a
balance is needed, but that only by assuming that man has the
capacity for growth are we likely to discover the scope of this
same capacity." --"from the introduction by Gordon W. Allport"
