This article explores the epistemology of prejudice. Prejudice is first defined and examined from the perspective of intergroup relations theory in an attempt to learn more about the origins and methods of knowing about other groups. The second part of the article suggests that recent intergroup research raises fundamental questions about the role of objectivity in studying and managing prejudice. It goes so far as to suggest that our unwillingness to examine our assumptions about objectivity creates barriers to understanding prejudice in academia and managing it in organizations.

Joseph talks about rights and reality for South African gay community. Discussing lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, intersex and queer rights (LGBTI) in South Africa is deeply contradictory. On the one hand, the country boasts some of the most progressive LGBTI rights in the world--from its constitution, protecting people from discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, to legalized same sex unions. Cape Town is a popular holiday destination for the international LGBTI community, as well as being the centre for the 'pink rand'. In fact South Africa leads on the African continent when it comes to LGBTI rights. Adapted from the source document.

Sociological research on racial prejudice has generated consistent and reliable empirical findings on the social determinants of prejudice, but comprehensive theoretical explanations of the social forces that promote prejudice tend to be controversial. Two such theoretical perspectives are examined and then compared for their ability to explain prejudice; namely Durkheim's theory of cognition and the neoevolutionist approach to sociocultural modernization and ontogenetic maturation. An attempt also is made to merge the interactionist and evolutionist arguments for the purpose of developing a comprehensive explanation of prejudice.
