Luca Váradi

Youths Trapped in Prejudice

Hungarian Adolescents¿ Attitudes towards the Roma

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Luca Váradi aims to understand the formation of the Hungarian teenagers' attitudes towards the Roma, as adolescence is a crucial period in identity development. Her objective is to determine to what extent the classical and more recent theories on the formation of prejudice can be applied in a context in which there is no public consensus of respect towards minorities. The author lets the teenagers express their own views to see their world through their eyes, allowing the reader to understand what being prejudiced or tolerant means to these adolescents.
