Description

As the world faces an array of increasingly pervasive and dangerous social conflicts - race riots, ethnic cleansing, the threat of terrorism, labour disputes, and violence against women, children, and the elderly, to name a few - the study of how groups relate has become of vital importance to our society. In this updated and expanded second edition, major international theoretical orientations to intergroup relations are outlined and reviewed with particular attention given to exciting new developments in the field. Changes in approach to such enduring social issues as discrimination are discussed, and new sections focus on topics including affirmative action, tokenism, and multiculturalism.
