520 _a[TofC cont.] Conclusions, challenging prejudice: Undoing prejudice I, lessons from the three lenses; Undoing prejudice II, empowerment. [In this book, the author uses] historical, sociological, and psychological perspectives [to] help students see a ... complete picture of prejudice. -Pref. [This book first] consider[s] the meaning of differences and how prejudice is structured around dealing with differences.... [It next] examines those efforts to understand prejudice that argue that perhaps there is something about the targeted groups that would explain why they are thought ill of and perhaps even treated differently from the rest of "us." [The book then] refocuses ... from the targeted groups to the prejudiced person, arguing that perhaps there is something about people who are prejudiced that we must examine in order to understand this troubling topic. [Next, the author] argue[s] that because prejudice is an intergroup phenomenon ... perhaps it is best to examine prejudice in terms of intergroup relations. [Finally, the book addresses] two additional issues: the consequences of prejudice ... and what to do to reduce prejudice. -Ch. 1
