What's Wrong with Stereotyping?
View through CrossRef
Abstract
What’s Wrong with Stereotyping? offers a groundbreaking, accessibly written philosophical account of the ethics of stereotyping. The book advances a complex and often surprising notion of what stereotyping is, and when and why it is wrongful. Using philosophy, law, psychology, and history, as well as thought-provoking examples and models for social change drawn from the lived experiences of marginalized groups, the book emphasizes the messiness of moral reality and the importance of looking to the past to understand the ethical perils of social generalizing. Readers come away with a radically pluralistic, open-ended understanding of stereotyping that they can use to identify wrongful stereotyping in their own lives and our contemporary world.
