Prejudice, Ethnocentrism and Racism

Abstrakti

A major consequence of immigration is that people of diverse origins and identities have to work out and establish reasonably harmonious relationships if they are going to live together in a plural society (Berry, 1990). The discipline of Social Psychology has sudied this issue for almost a century, and has found the concept of prejudice to be useful in its examination. Two forms of prejudice are considered here: ethnocentrism and racism.
