Stereotypes and Prejudice in Conflict: Representations of Arabs in Israeli Jewish Society Book

On the basis of knowledge accumulated in social, developmental, and political psychology, sociology, political science, cultural studies and communication, the book presents integrative conceptual frameworks, which are used to analyze the representation of Arabs in Israeli Jewish Society. The book, focusing on the case if Arab representation in the Israel-Jewish society, describes the negative intergroup psychological repertooire about the enemy (Arabs) that evolves in the context of intractable conflict (Arab-Israeli conflict). Then outlines how this repertoirse developed, how it is maintained, insitutionalized, and trasnmitted to a new generation. This analysis is of special importance because the negative psychological intergroupo repertoire feeds the continuation of the conflict, and thus, serves as a major obstacle to conflict resolution and peace making process. Finally, the book discusses a major challenge of how to change the negative psychological intergroup repertoire in order to embark on the road to peace and reconciliation.Read More

  • Product Description

    In the last two decades, the study of social stereotypes and prejudice has become one of the central interests in social psychology in particular. One reflection of this growing interest is the focus on shared stereotypes and prejudices. The primary reason for this development is the recognition that stereotypes and prejudice play a determinative role in shaping intergroup relations. In situations of conflict, they are simultaneously outcomes of the accumulated animosity between the involved groups and also feed on the continuation of the conflict by furnishing the cognitive-affective basis for the experienced mistrust by the parties. In spite of this recognition, no systematic analysis of the stereotypes and prejudice was carried out in real situations. This book tries to rectify this by applying a general and universal conceptual framework to the study of the acquisition and development of stereotypes and prejudice in a society involved in an intractable conflict.
