Roots of Prejudice

A concise overview of prejudice. Explores those aspects of human nature, including our instincts, the learning process, the leap to judgments, the fear, suspicion & ignorance, that make us prone to prejudice. It shows the deep seated universal roots that make prejudice pandemic in human society. It illustrates the many diverse ways that prejudice manifests itself & the way these manifestations frequently reinforce each other & create a many-stranded web which traps us & is difficult to break. "I have never known a person - including myself - who was not at the same time prejudiced & a victim of prejudice." Finally it reviews the various methods used to fight prejudice & reduce it to a minimum, demonstrating what will work, what will not, & what is counterproductive. Those who accept the ideology, myths & lies of prejudice cannot fight it & inevitably become prejudiced themselves.Zeltmann, Walter F. is the author of 'Roots of Prejudice' with ISBN 9780962270543 and ISBN 0962270547.
