Out of Sight, Out of Mind: An Anthology on the Intersection of Prejudice and Discrimination

Book Overview

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: An Anthology on the Intersection of Prejudice and Discrimination provides students with a carefully curated selection of readings that analyze, break down, and work through the barriers that highlight cultural appropriation, stigma, and inequity.

The anthology is divided into four distinct units that focus on various issues in society as they relate to prejudice and discrimination. Unit I focuses on theories of inequity and includes readings that examine theories on discrimination, colorism, families of color, and anomie, strain, and subcultural theories. In Unit II, students learn about social categorization. They read about personality and prejudice in interracial interactions, the importance of family, race, and gender for multiracial adolescent well-being, and social enterprise for poverty alleviation. Unit III explores discrimination in the contexts of education and finances, as well as the effects of discrimination on the United States. The final unit contains readings related to race and covers issues related to internationalism and race-based preferences.

A timely and illuminating anthology, Out of Sight, Out of Mind is an ideal resources for courses in sociology, ethnic studies, and cultural studies.
