“Policymakers and practictioners will likely find the descriptions of the research accessible and meaningful.”  (Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, 17 October 2013) "This remarkable book brings together the world’s leading scholars of intergroup relations to pay tribute to the seminal work of Thomas Pettigrew, and in so doing to derive essential lessons for academics, politicians, and the public in general." Douglas S. Massey, Princeton University "Tribute and treat, this exciting collection celebrates social psychologist Tom Pettigrew’s great impact on our understandings of prejudice, discrimination, and intergoup contact. Highly readable articles integrate well, offering a well-etched portrait of Pettigrew’s many contributions to research on racial emotions, intergroup adaptation, deprovincialization of ingroups, and context effects. Once expelled from school for standing up to a bigoted teacher, Pettigrew’s scholar-activist commitments to eradicating racism have been influential and equal to those of any social scientist of the last half century." Joe R. Feagin, Texas A & M University "Tom Pettigrew’s research and writing has had a major impact on our understanding of prejudice, its causes and cures. This remarkable volume is both a tribute to Pettigrew’s influence and an extension of its reach. A must read for anyone interested in intergroup relations." Elliot Aronson, author of The Social Animal, Nobody Left to Hate, and Mistakes were Made (But Not By Me) FOR BACK COVER: "In an increasingly fissured world, it is both timely and reassuring to know that so many of social psychology’s leading minds are addressing themselves here to the cause of promoting tolerance and social harmony. Researchers and policy–makers alike will profit greatly from a close study of this book." Rupert Brown, University of Sussex FOR FM PUFFS PAGE: "This book is designed simultaneously as a tribute to Tom Pettigrew, one of the world’s foremost scholars of prejudice, and as a ‘state of the art’ collection of essays delineating social psychology’s contribution to the reduction of prejudice around the world. It succeeds admirably in both these aims. It is a fitting celebration of Pettigrew’s career, both as a pioneering social scientist and as a courageous activist in the cause of social justice. The essays, written by a veritable ‘Who’s Who’ in the social psychology of intergroup relations, are admirably concise and well-written accounts of the key recent developments in the field. There can be few topics which deserve more of our attention than that of improving intergroup relations. In an increasingly fissured world, it is both timely and reassuring to know that so many of social psychology’s leading minds are addressing themselves here to the cause of promoting tolerance and social harmony. Researchers and policy–makers alike will profit greatly from a close study of this book." Rupert Brown, University of Sussex
