"Tribute and treat, this exciting collection celebrates socialpsychologist Tom Pettigrew's great impact on ourunderstandings of prejudice, discrimination, and intergoup contact.Highly readable articles integrate well, offering a well-etchedportrait of Pettigrew's many contributions to research onracial emotions, intergroup adaptation, deprovincialization ofingroups, and context effects. Once expelled from school forstanding up to a bigoted teacher, Pettigrew'sscholar-activist commitments to eradicating racism have beeninfluential and equal to those of any social scientist of the lasthalf century."
