?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.?-Choice
?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.?-Multicultural Review
