Biased: Uncovering the Hidden Prejudice That Shapes What We See, Think, and Do
In "Biased," Jennifer L. Eberhardt, PhD, unravels the complex fabric of unconscious racial bias, illustrating its pervasive influence on society and individual lives with unmatched clarity and depth. Drawing from her extensive experience as a leading expert in the field, Eberhardt navigates the reader through a landscape where bias shapes the contours of criminal justice, education, and employment, subtly yet significantly affecting the lives of millions. With a blend of rigorous science, compelling narrative, and personal reflection, she exposes the hidden prejudices that inform our actions and decisions, often without our awareness. This groundbreaking work goes beyond the abstract to offer a vivid exploration of bias in action—through the lens of law enforcement body cameras, courtroom decisions, and the lived experiences of individuals on both sides of the perceptual divide. Eberhardt's insights are fortified by her own journey and dedication to uncovering the truths about societal prejudices, making "Biased" not just a book about racial bias but a poignant call to action. Offering practical solutions and hope, Eberhardt shows that while bias is a deeply ingrained human problem, it is one that we are capable of overcoming through awareness, understanding, and systemic change.
