內容簡介

研究種族歧視世界最知名的專家之一,以豐富的研究帶給讀者看待種族歧視的不同角度。

一般人也許大多都認為自己對所有人一視同仁,但事實並非如此。每個人心中都有未意識到的歧視,每一天,這一些歧視不停地用微妙,並且難以察覺的方式,影響我們對外在世界的觀感、記憶和行為。

這些潛意識中的歧視可能很微小,或者看起來一點也不重要,不透過深度的研究無法察覺,但卻是會影響社會每個層級,從學校、法庭到議會,都能看到它們的影子,並且造成極大的影響。

但這些歧視並非無法治癒的惡根,而是每個國家、文化中普遍存在的狀況,是可能被克服的。在本書中,社會心理學專家Jennifer Eberhardt以長期的觀察研究,告訴讀者們克服歧視、創造更美好世界的方法。

‘Jennifer Eberhardt gives us the opportunity to talk about race in new ways, ultimately transforming our thinking about ourselves and the world we want to create.’ Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow

‘Jennifer Eberhardt is one of the great thinkers and one of the great voices of our time.’ Carol Dweck, author of Mindset

‘Groundbreaking... essential reading for anyone interested in how we become a more just society.’ Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy

Professor Jennifer Eberhardt is a Stanford Social Psychologist and one of the world’s leading experts on racial bias. In Biased, she draws on groundbreaking research to demonstrate that even without explicit racism, our unconscious biases powerfully shape our behaviour leading to racial disparities in all sectors of society.

In a global society of increased migration and social movement, Biased highlights the social problems that arise when different races meet, and demonstrates the stubbornly persistent role of racial bias in a world where economic and geographic realities are rapidly changing.

Perhaps more importantly, Biased not only describes one of the most fundamental problems of our age, but puts forward solutions. Unconscious bias is a common human condition to be recognised and managed, not a sin to be punished. Only through understanding comes change.
