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

Book info: Stereotypes and Prejudice in Conflict: Representations of Arabs in Israeli Jewish Society (Hardcover, 502 pages) – Cambridge University Press, 2005. Language: English.

Focusing on the issue of Arab representation in the Israeli-Jewish society, this study describes the negative intergroup psychological repertoire about the enemy (Arabs) that evolves in the context of intractable conflict (Arab-Israeli conflict). This analysis is of special importance because the negative psychological intergroup repertoire feeds the continuation of the conflict, and thus, serves as a major obstacle to conflict resolution and the peace making process. The major challenge of changing the negative psychological intergroup repertoire is emphasized.
