Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do 

Author: Jennifer L. Eberhardt

Genre: Nonfiction, Social Science

Publication Date: 2019

Introduction  

In Biased, social psychologist Jennifer L. Eberhardt explains how unconscious biases predispose people to make rash judgments that perpetuate social inequities. Focusing on racial bias in the United States, Eberhardt uses a combination of case studies, personal experiences, and laboratory experiments to show how implicit bias leads to stereotyping and discrimination. These patterns of thinking and behavior, as Eberhardt shows, then find their way into education, criminal justice, and many other areas of public life. Throughout, she argues that although biases are a fact of human psychology, individuals and organizations can take powerful steps to counteract them and create a fairer society
