The Anatomy of prejudices

Surveying the study of prejudice since World War II, Young-Bruehl finds a history riddled with assumptions, generalizations, and cliches. The Anatomy of Prejudices proposes a fresh start, and suggests an approach that distinguishes between different types of prejudices, the people who hold them, the social and political settings that promote them, and the human needs they fulfill. Young-Bruehl draws on theoretical and clinical, historical, and empirical literatures to show us prejudices from a variety of angles: there are those that help protect a group's identity (ethnocentrisms) and those that project a group identity (ideologies of desire); there are prejudices as socioeconomic phenomena, attitudes toward governments, products of historical periods, social mechanisms of defense, sexual fantasy structures, and puberty rites.

  • "First the slur, then the discussion: Was it blatant racism ot just a stupid joke? But do we really know what we're talking about--what prejudice is, how it works, that it penetrates even the way we speak of prejudice, question it, interpret it? In this deeply thoughtful book, Young-Bruehl turns a critical lens on what has been said about prejudice--and, more importantly, what has gone unsaid."@en
