Publisher Description
"Poignant....important and illuminating."—The New York Times Book Review
"Groundbreaking."—Bryan Stevenson, New York Times bestselling author of Just Mercy
From one of the world’s leading experts on unconscious racial bias come stories, science, and strategies to address one of the central controversies of our time
How do we talk about bias? How do we address racial disparities and inequities? What role do our institutions play in creating, maintaining, and magnifying those inequities? What role do we play? With a perspective that is at once scientific, investigative, and informed by personal experience, Dr. Jennifer Eberhardt offers us the language and courage we need to face one of the biggest and most troubling issues of our time. She exposes racial bias at all levels of society—in our neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and criminal justice system. Yet she also offers us tools to address it. Eberhardt shows us how we can be vulnerable to bias but not doomed to live under its grip. Racial bias is a problem that we all have a role to play in solving.
Customer Reviews
Great and Relevant Read
I became aware of this literary work while studying for my Department’s promotional exam. I used the audio book so it was beyond helpful to hear her experiences come to life through her words. She did a phenomenal job incorporating those experiences with quantitative research. I’m so grateful and proud that a woman of color has done the foot work to bring the world to a better understanding of themselves and the world we live in. Great read. I have already recommended it to all my family and friends. Keep up the amazing work!
Bias
Open and honest. A wholistic evaluation on bias. This should be a required text for high school and College upper class men. I enjoyed the book and I am challenged by its content.
