COPING WITH MINORITY STATUS RESPONSES TO EXCLUSION AND INCLUSION Edited by
Fabrizio Butera, Université de Lausanne, Switzerland John M. Levine, University of Pittsburgh Society consists of numerous interconnected, interacting, and interdependent groups, which differ in power and status. The consequences of belonging to a more powerful, higher-status ‘majority’ versus a less powerful, lower-status ‘minority’ can be profound, and the tensions that arise between these groups are the root of society’s most difficult problems. To understand the origins of these problems and develop solutions for them, it is necessary to understand the dynamics of majority-minority relations. This volume brings together leading scholars in the fields of stigma, prejudice and discrimination, minority influence, and intergroup relations to provide diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives on what it means to be a minority. The volume, which focuses on the strategies that minorities use in coping with majorities, is organized into three sections: ‘Coping with Exclusion: Being Excluded for Who You Are’; ‘Coping with Exclusion: Being Excluded for What You Think and Do’; and ‘Coping with Inclusion’.
“Coping with Minority Status offers unique and valuable perspectives on an important yet still largely understudied aspect of intergroup relations: how minority group members adapt to or actively try to change their group’s status. The chapters, written by leading international scholars on intergroup and intragroup processes, consider how being a member of a minority group affects the ways people think, feel, and relate to others, as well as examine the broad range of responses (including terrorism) that minority groups use to influence dominant groups. The volume is impressive in its scope, but even more impressive is the depth and originality of insights that it presents. It is essential reading for anyone interested in this area and will help shape the course of scholarship on this topic for many years to come.“ – John F. Dovidio, Yale University
