Description

In this deeply thoughtful book, Elisabeth Young-Bruehl turns a critical lens on prejudice. Surveying the study of prejudice since World War II, Young-Bruehl suggests an approach that distinguishes between different types of prejudices, the people who hold them, the social and political settings that promote them, and the human needs they fulfil.

Startling, challenging, and courageous, this work offers an unprecedented analysis of prejudice.

The Anatomy of Prejudices is a must-read for those interested in understanding the complexities of biases and the diverse factors influencing them.
