Xenophobia, For Men Only

Xenophobia, For Men Only

We have an evolved mental readiness to be fearful of certain things in our world. It's known that people are more fearful of "out-groups" -- people who are different from them. A new study reveals that volunteers' most persistent fears were reserved for men -- that is, male members of the out-group. So white men and women feared black men, and black men and women feared white men; all the other lab-induced fears diminished.

With the aim of deepening the understanding of racism and xenophobia as complex expressions of social inequality, the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture of the Government of Mexico, presented the book Racisms and Xenophobia. The post Racisms and Xenophobia: the INAH book that reveals the multiple faces of discrimination in Mexico and the world appeared first on Hispanics Press.
