[SC: 36.42], [PU: Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1996], Jacket, very good dust-jacket, pages are creaky because paper is warped and wavy along the inner margin, even though the book appears essentially unused. YOUNG-BRUEHL, ELISABETH. The anatomy of prejudices. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press, 1996, 1st edition, 632pp., . Surveying the study of prejudice since World War II, Young-Bruehl finds a history riddled with assumptions, generalizations, and cliches. The Anatomy of Prejudices proposes a fresh start, and suggests an approach that distinguishes between different types of prejudices, the people who hold them, the social and political settings that promote them, and the human needs they fulfill. Young-Bruehl draws on theoretical and clinical, historical, and empirical literatures to show us prejudices from a variety of angles: there are those that help protect a group's identity (ethnocentrisms) and those that project a group identity (ideologies of desire); there are prejudices as socioeconomic phenomena, attitudes toward governments, products of historical periods, social mechanisms of defense, sexual fantasy structures, and puberty rites., Among the many forms of prejudice, Young-Bruehl pays particular attention to four - antisemitism, racism, sexism, and homophobia - which she exposes in their distinctiveness and their similarities. - CONTENTS: Theories of prejudice: A preliminary classification -- What happened to the " Prejudiced Personality " -- Sociology surveys the American dilemma -- The prejudice that is not one -- The Homophobias -- " Social Character " in search of a theory -- Character types and their ideologies of desire -- Origins and developmental lines: Children and prejudice -- Adolescence and the aims of hatreds -- Shared prejudices, social styles -- Constructing ideal types -- The body and soul of narcissism -- Varieties of silencing -- On resistance to hysterical repression -- Feeling the contradictions of sexism and being the targets of homophobias -- Index. 9780674031906 ISBN 0674031903<
