Modern prejudice refers to the subtle negative attitudes that are
directed toward stigmatised groups such as African-Americans and
gay men and lesbian women. Individuals categorised as high in
modern prejudice deny the existence of discrimination against
stigmatised groups; believe that demands made by these groups are
unfair; assert that social institutions accord disproportionate
attention to such groups; and reject their efforts to change the
status quo. Stated simply, the ethos of an individual high in
modern prejudice is: "Discrimination is a thing of the past because
groups now have all the rights they need." social scientists have
devoted considerable attention to studying modern prejudice;
however, no book has provided comprehensive coverage of this
topic-until now. It also offers students and academics, as well as
the interested layperson, a thorough review of modern prejudice; a
construct that is at the centre of some of the most innovative
studies currently conducted by psychologists.
