Zangwill, Israel. Without Prejudice. London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1896 Jewish author and political activist, Israel Zangwill (1864 - 1926), was passionate about campaigning for the oppressed. Many of his works address women's suffrage, pacifism, Zionism, and Jewish emancipation. He was a strong believer in assimilation and is best known for his influential novel "Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People" (1892) which was later released as a play titled "The Melting Pot" (1908). Zangwill is credited with coining the term "melting pot" to describe the fusion of various cultures and ethnicities. This is a rare volume of literary essays and travel accounts. Most of the selections were originally printed in Pall Mall Magazine.- Biblio.com Full text ; https://digitalcommons.rockefeller.edu/jason-brown-library/1028/thumbnail.jpg
A description of some of the psychol'al att's that create prejudice. 'Prejudice may be defined as a bias or leaning of feeling, favorable or unfavorable, in regard to categories of objects of perception prior to testing the reality or validity of such a feeling.' To accept attitude change, & to overcome fear & hate of unknown objects, the child has to be sure that the parent figure who introduces the new object is a good & safe person. The protective function of these phobias or prejudices lies 'in their enabling the subject to release some of the unconscious ambivalence against a substitute for the original target-object of his hate or fear, while also avoiding the catastrophic implications of becoming aware of these feelings against the original object - say his father or mother. Displaced or transferred feelings are the essential psychol'al dynamisms in xenophobia & other forms of ethnic prejudice. Another common feature is the felt threat of being coerced or overcome by fiercer or more subtle or just stronger people, with the implied sense of one's own honest simplicity or weakness, often camouflaged by an assumption of rugged individualism & patriotic chauvinism. The 2nd main category of motives for ethnic prejudice rests on the projection of one's own rejected but still active instinctual desires to the object of prejudice. 'The `stranger' is the symbol of those parts of one from which repression & guilt feelings have alienated one.' The typical prejudiced person 'is an emotionally insecure person. His or her relationship to home background was such as to induce marked conflict in the sphere of aggression vs submission to parent figures.' E. Weiman.

This volume presents a contemporary and comprehensive overview of the great diversity of theoretical interests, new ideas, and practical applications that characterize social psychological approaches to stereotyping and prejudice. All the contributions are written by renowned scholars in the field, with some chapters focusing on fundamental principles, including research questions about the brain structures that help us categorize and judge others, the role of evolution in prejudice, and how prejudice relates to language, communication, and social norms. Several chapters review a new dimension that has frequently been understudied-the role of the social context in creating stereotypes and prejudice. Another set of chapters focuses on applications, particularly how stereotypes and prejudice really matter in everyday life. These chapters include studies of their impact on academic performance, their role in small group processes, and their influence on everyday social interactions. The volume provides an essential resource for students, instructors, and researchers in social and personality psychology, and is also an invaluable reference for academics and professionals in related fields who have an interest in the origins and effects of stereotyping and prejudice.
