| Summary |
"Improving Intergroup Relations focuses on emerging research directions for intergroup relations, a field which has been influenced and inspired by the life contributions of Thomas F. Pettigrew. The book explores the many ways in which the work of Dr. Pettigrew has fostered new developments in the field, with each chapter presenting both Dr. Pettigrew's landmark work as well as the most recent and relevant advances. The chapters conclude with the thoughts of leading scholars on practical strategies and future directions for combating intergroup conflict."--Jacket |
