"This is social psychology at its best - basic and applied research on stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination contributing up-to-date knowledge necessary to solve such societal problems as inequality and injustice, political participation and disengagement, intergroup conflict and violence, extremism and terrorism." - Professor Bogdan Wojciszke, Polish Academy of Science, Poland "This book explores important social issues from a social psychology point of view. It has a highly applied edge to it where theory is linked to real events and discussed, by recognised scholars, in the context of relevant classic and current empirical literature. This is definitely a useful and much-needed addition to the current literature." - Dr Magdalena Zawisza, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, University of Winchester, UK "This is a clearly written and well-structured book and as such functions well as an introductory text. It also offers a novel approach to subject through concrete case studies of different social problems. The problems are foregrounded such that students see how social psychology might be relevant to the real world." - Dr Brady Wagoner, Aalborg University, Denmark
