Produktbeschreibung

"Racial Bias Origins" delves into the intricate foundations of racial prejudice, exploring how psychological, sociological, and historical factors shape and sustain bias in human societies. The book uniquely combines cutting-edge neuroscience with traditional social psychology to unravel why humans, despite their capacity for reason, develop and maintain racial biases.

Through a comprehensive analysis of seven decades of research, readers discover how racial awareness emerges as early as age three and how environmental factors significantly influence the development of prejudiced attitudes. The book progresses through three major sections, beginning with the neurological and developmental foundations of bias, including fascinating insights from functional MRI studies of implicit bias.

The middle section examines how societal structures and media representations reinforce racial categorizations, while the final section offers evidence-based strategies for reducing prejudice at both individual and institutional levels. This structured approach helps readers build a thorough understanding of how racial bias operates at multiple levels, from individual psychology to broader social systems.

Drawing from a groundbreaking five-year multinational study, the book presents practical applications for recognizing and addressing implicit bias in professional settings while maintaining scholarly rigor. Its interdisciplinary approach connects psychology with sociology, anthropology, and economics, demonstrating how racial prejudice impacts various life domains, from healthcare outcomes to economic opportunities. The work proves particularly valuable for social scientists, educators, and professionals seeking evidence-based approaches to building more inclusive environments.
