Reviews:

• This four-volume set provides a comprehensive examination of the human tendency to succumb to biased, negative notions about others who are "different." Operating in the face of antidiscrimination legislation (which is often poorly enforced anyway), prejudice and discrimination can take on forms both overt and covert, and Chin encompasses both throughout....The set is marked by a mix of scholarly analysis and personal anecdote, a format that is its distinguishing strength. Essential. All collections; all levels.

• What makes this impressive four-volume series an outstanding contribution to the literature is the scope and variety of topics included....Here is a must-have for the bookshelf of scholars, teachers, students, and readers whose work requires a better understanding of prejudice, discrimination, multiculturalism, diversity, and a host of topics related to social injustices and oppression. This is a much-needed addition to the reference section of all libraries.
