|  | | Planting Hatred, Sowing Pain The Psychology of the Israeli-Palestinian Con
Salinas explains how the obstacles to achieve peace in the region are not just political, but also psychological. Research - as well as resident interviews conducted with people from both sides of the fight - shows that just as much as the disagreements over borders, refugees, and settlements, both parties are kept from the negotiating table by psychological factors including mistrust, hatred, stereotypes, and prejudice.
The world has known many periods when two factions held such strong hatred of each other that bloody conflicts were regular, ongoing, unsurprising events. But there is perhaps no modern period of conflict as sustained as that of the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. Salinas shows us how the hatred and mistrust were created and persist for the populace, with interviewees ranging from an Israeli right wing settler and a Palestinian militant to commoners on both sides simply the victims of that violence.

[A] clearly written summary of affirmative action--varying definitions, myths, executive orders, and contending assumptions of the arguments, pro and con....Recommended. Especially for studies in social psychology; upper-division undergraduates and above.
—Choice June 2004
Affirmative Action was originally needed to deal with disparities - social, economic, political and educational - in America. What is needed is a new, long-term program to attack the root causes of inequality and prejudice. Salinas believes the quest to end disparity in this country must begin with educational reform, abandoning an antiquated educational model designed to serve an emerging industrial society and based on the values of the dominant white class of the time. He applies empirical evidence to reach policy conclusions moving beyond our current Affirmative Action. |
