‘A unique and refreshing book that tackles two of the most interrelated and problematic issues in our society: prejudice and racism. The First Edition was unanimously acclaimed as a major contribution to the field and this second edition is destined to be a classic. It represents one of the most clear, concise and honest looks at the origins, manifestations, dynamics and psychological costs of prejudice and racism written thus far. This is truly a superb book that makes a major contribution to the field and should be read by everyone.’ — Derald Wing Sue, Ph.D.,
Teachers College, Columbia University
‘This text is an authentic expression and plea that challenges each of us to build alliances across demographic boundaries in order to fight an insidious social disease. Drs. Ponterotto, Utsey, and Pedersen succeed in dislodging us from our comfortable categories of intellectual, emotional, behavioral, and spiritual apathy, and invite us to transcend the amount of social disappointment and despair and strive towards a more hopeful and optimistic future.’ — Thomas A. Parham, Ph.D.,
Distinguished Psychologist, Association of Black Psychologists
‘A critical resource book for educators, counselors, and parents to learn more about how to handle prejudice, and should be required reading for all of us who work with diverse populations. It is a powerful book that helps us to see that we can make a difference in fighting prejudice.’ –Nadya A. Fouad, Ph.D.,
University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee

Arizona State University and President, American Counseling Association
