Description: "Can a population of increasingly mixed origins learn to live and work together despite differing cultural backgrounds, or is social polarization by race and ethnicity inevitable? These are the dilemmas explored in Cultural Divides, a compendium of the latest research into the origins and nature of group conflict, by a distinguished group of social psychologists who have joined forces to examine the effects of culture on social life."--BOOK JACKET.
