Evidence

As I have shown in this book, the social psychologist who sets out to understand the nature and complexity of contemporary racism in Europe can profi tably turn to sociology, social theory, anthropology and history to understand more about the dilemmas and contradictions lodged at the heart of liberal democratic societies. — Cristian Tileagă, The Nature of Prejudice, 802
