The author presents extensive survey and demographic data to challenge the myth that life is good for racial minorities and that racism is in decline. He argues that prejudice is inherent in the traps of automatic cognitive processing, i.e. the ways our minds work and the ways in which we respond to each other. He concludes with seven principles for racial reconciliation that, despite our limitations, offer hope for encouraging racial diversity. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.

CONTENT: Face to Face is a bold and compelling analysis of race in America. Waller challenges several widely-held myths about racism in modern American society. He argues against the prevailing view that racism is in decline by contrasting blatant "old-fashioned" racism to more socially acceptable forms of everyday "modern" racism. Although Waller believes that prejudice is inherent in the "way our minds work," he offers seven principles for racial reconciliation that, -- despite our cognitive limitations -- offer hope for encouraging racial diversity in our communities, organizations, schools, and families.
