Moving beyond prejudice reduction : pathways to positive intergroup relations
"Moving Beyond Prejudice Reduction expands social psychology's traditional focus on prejudice reduction to explore novel approaches to improving relations and fostering empathy between members of socially dominant ingroups and oppressed or victimized outgroups. The authors examine the dynamics of attitudinal change from individual to group levels and propose a proactive analytical framework that can be used to improve relations between groups. They accomplish this by reconceptualizing how we think about intergroup attitudes, examining motivations and expectations across group boundaries, and promoting closeness and inclusion in cross-group relationships. The book's final grouping of chapters applies these concepts to forgiveness, reparation, and reconciliation among different ethnopolitical groups in postconflict societies. This provocative book will be of interest to all individuals who study the complex dynamics of prejudice." -- Publisher
