Opis

Few people today would admit to being a racist, or to making assumptions about individuals based on their skin colour, or on their gender or social class. In this book, a leading psychologist and researcher in the area of implicit attitudes asks if prejudice, more subtle than before, is still a major part of our everyday lives.
