heart, and soul...[and] will make you think about the news, your

in pursuit of a fairer world for everyone.--Esquire.com
Combining storytelling with a deep dive into the science of
implicit bias, Eberhardt explains how bias and prejudice form--and
she describes their pernicious effects on all of us. But she
doesn't stop at the problem: Her book shines a spotlight on what we
can do to fight bias at a personal and institutional
level."--Greater Good Magazine "Compelling and provocative, this is

society and what each of us can do about it."--Kirkus

essential to helping us understand racial inequalities in our

empirical research to challenge the idea of human objectivity and
the tragic outcomes of this false belief. ...This book should be
required reading for everyone.--Robin DiAngelo, author of
White Fragility "This book helps us to scientifically view how
racial bias works in our own minds and throughout society. We could
not ask for a better guide to understand this reality than Jennifer
Eberhardt. Her research reveals critical information that can help
leaders better understand how biases can impact our judgment and
how we are perceived by the communities we are sworn to
serve."--Kamala D. Harris, United States Senator from

the great voices of our time...I believe her book will change the

itself."--Carol Dweck, author of New York Times

everyone equally."--Linda Darling-Hammond, author of The Flat
World and Education: How America's Commitment to Equity will
Determine our Future "This is not someone who is just doing work in
the ivory tower of a university. This is someone who is really out
in the trenches working with police departments and the criminal
justice system."--Chris Magnus, Chief of Police, Tucson,
Arizona "She is saying things that make people uncomfortable,
but she has the evidence to back up the reality of what's she's
describing... [her work is]...original, provocative, and rigorous.
I think she has changed the way we all think about the American
dilemma of race."--Susan Fiske, Psychologist, Princeton
University "The hope for progress is greatly increased by
Jennifer Eberhardt's groundbreaking new book on implicit bias.

accessibility, but it is also a work with the power and craft to
make us see why overcoming racial bias is so critical.--Bryan
