He explores all kinds of prejudice — racial, religious, ethnic, economic and sexual — and offers suggestions for reducing the devastating effects of discrimination.In this unabridged edition, a new introduction by Kenneth B. Clark of Columbia University and a new preface by Thomas Pettigrew of Harvard University update the social-psychological research in prejudice and attest to the enduring values of Allport’s original theories and insights.
