Blindspot

Blindspot by Mahzarin R. Banaji and Anthony G. Greenwald explores how hidden biases affect our perceptions of age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, social class, sexuality, disability status, and nationality. With the help of the Implicit Association Test, the authors reveal how our beliefs and behavior are shaped unconsciously. By gaining awareness, we can adapt and "outsmart the machine" in our heads to be fairer to those around us. This engaging and accessible book challenges readers to understand their own minds and change their behavior.
