Description

"This edited collection addresses the important study of the conditions that support positive intergroup contact that leads to intergroup friendships and prejudice reduction through a multidisciplinary lens. Employing Intergroup Contact Theory and Intergroup Friendships Theory as conceptual foundations, this book brings together researchers in psychology, soci-ology, and education. European societies are increasingly diverse spaces in which children, adolescents and adults of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, religious beliefs, and cultural-linguistic practices interact daily. These spaces provide fertile ground for a continuum of relational experiences, from positive intergroup relationships and friendships to tensions and experiences of dis-crimination, marginalization and isolation. Bergamaschi, Pica and their contributors exam-ine the psychological and sociological conditions, as well as the pedagogical interventions that can shape interactions among young people. The book will be of great interest to academics and students across disciplines, educators, policy makers, and activists interested in how to support intercultural societies and schools towards the goal of reduced prejudice and discrimination towards a more intercultural and just society. A valuable read for scholars of the sociology of multiethnic society and the role of education and school environments"-- Provided by publisher.
