Straight Talk About Prejudice
by Rachel KranzDiscusses the causes and effects of prejudice and stereotyping and how such thinking can lead to discrimination against such groups as women, ethnic groups, homosexuals, the aging, and the handicapped. From the Book Jacket: Have you ever felt frustrated by the assumptions that someone was making about you? When you pick your friends, do you often rely on a first impression plus a stereotype that you believe tells you everything you need to know, positive and negative? It is impossible to go through life without making some assumptions about others, right or wrong. However, these assumptions can often lead to prejudice, which has become a pervasive and harmful presence in contemporary American society. STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT PREJUDICE provides readers with clear factual information about prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination. It clearly defines all three and demonstrates how they commonly occur in our everyday lives. The book then explores the role prejudice has played throughout history and discusses some of the reasons why it has appeared at given times and in particular forms. It carefully distinguishes between explicit and institutionalized discrimination and closely examines racial and cultural prejudice, as well as prejudice against women, homosexuals and the aged and handicapped. The volume outlines possible legal, personal and political ways of coping with prejudice and offers a directory of organizations and agencies set up for that purpose. Written in a completely accessible and straightforward style, STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT PREJUDICE provides readers with the clear, factual information needed to increase their own understanding and awareness of prejudice, how it works, and what can be done about it. Rachel Kranz is the author of numerous books for young readers on a variety of subjects.
