Editorial Reviews
Review
Paul Sander
Psychology: Learning & Teaching
‘The students targeted by this book need not be on a psychology programme as no prior knowledge of psychology is assumed, but psychology students could be well served in that the book embeds the psychology of prejudice in the realities of current lives. it is certainly a book which those teaching in this area would find useful as a resource book…I would recommend the book on account of the diversity of diversity issues addressed, the rigorous grounding in the academic literature, and the interesting and well-researched weblinks , diversity issues, readings and the occasional film to watch’
