Hatred, Bigotry, and Prejudice Definitions, Causes & Solutions

Informationen zum Autor Edited by Robert M. Baird and Stuart E. Rosenbaum Klappentext What, in today's seemingly enlightened society, compels a bigot? How do prejudice and hatred emerge, and sometimes lead to such horrific violence? What can be done to overcome this subversive social undercurrent? This concise and relevant collection of essays explores the definitions, origins, and outcomes of intolerance in America. Zusammenfassung Many hate crimes such as an armed assault on a Jewish community centre in Los Angeles, have been linked to white supremacists and are painful reminders that violent bigotry remains stubbornly entrenched in American culture. This work features a collection of essays which explore the definitions, origins, and outcomes of intolerance in America.
