Book excerpt: Confronting Prejudice and Discrimination: The Science of Changing Minds and Behaviors focuses on confrontation as a strategy for reducing bias and discrimination.

Moreover, great strides in the scientific study of confrontation in the past 20 years has yielded valuable insights and answers.
