- Typecasting: On the Arts and Sciences of Human Inequality
Ewen,
Elizabeth, and Stuart Ewen. Typecasting: on the arts and sciences of human
inequality, a history of dominant ideas. Rev. ed. New York [u.a.: Seven Stories
Press [u.a.], 2008. Print.
Typecasting chronicles
the emergence of the "science of first impression" and reveals how
the work of its creators—early social scientists—continues to shape how we see
the world and to inform our most fundamental and unconscious judgments of
beauty, humanity, and degeneracy. In this groundbreaking exploration of the
growth of stereotyping amidst the rise of modern society, authors Ewen &
Ewen demonstrate "typecasting" as a persistent cultural practice.
Drawing on fields as diverse as history, pop culture, racial science, and film,
and including over one hundred images, many published here for the first time,
the authors present a vivid portrait of stereotyping as it was forged by
colonialism, industrialization, mass media, urban life, and the global economy.
- The Nature of Prejudice: 25th Anniversary Edition
Allport,
Gordon W.. The nature of prejudice. Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, 1998. Print.
With profound insight
into the complexities of the human experience, Harvard psychologist Gordon
Allport organized a mass of research to produce a landmark study on the roots
and nature of prejudice. First published in 1954, The Nature of Prejudice
remains the standard work on discrimination. Now this classic study is offered
in a special unabridged edition with a new introduction by Kenneth Clark of
Columbia University and a new preface by Thomas Pettigrew of Harvard
University.Allport’s comprehensive and penetrating work examines all aspects of
this age-old problem: its roots in individual and social psychology, its
varieties of expression, its impact on the individuals and communities. He
explores all kinds of prejudice-racial, religious, ethnic, economic and
sexual-and offers suggestions for reducing the devastating effects of
discrimination.The additional material by Clark and Pettigrew updates the
social-psychological research in prejudice and attests to the enduring values
of Allport’s original theories and insights.
