Dear Colleagues,
I'm pleased to bring to your attention the publication of an outstanding new reference volume for those with an interest in research in prejudice and stereotyping: The Handbook of Prejudice, Stereotyping, and Discrimination. The book is published by Psychology Press, edited by Todd Nelson, and contains 26 chapters written by eminent prejudice scholars. The scope and structure of the volume is modeled after the Handbook of Social Psychology, and as such, each chapter author was given the goal of presenting a comprehensive discussion of the subject matter, and, where applicable, advancing new theory. The volume is written for new and experienced researchers in the field, as well as graduate and undergraduate students.
You can find the book at the publisher's web site (www.psypress.com), at Amazon.com, and other major bookseller websites.
