Looks at the social psychology of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination in the context of broader concerns with social justice (law, employment, public policy, mental health) Strikes a balance between an authoritative, synthetic, review of current and emerging debates, as well as a focus on state-of-the-art empirical work Examines a central social psychological theme - the idea that problems of prejudice and hostility in society are not simply a matter of flawed reasoning, irrational propensities and/or attitudinal negativity
