In this groundbreaking book on the dim world of opinion formation, Helmreich opens a closet bursting with skeletons and explores the myths and historical roots of stereotypes pertaining to ethnic groups. He discusses which stereotypes are false, which are true, how they originated, and why some of the most libeled groups promote warped perceptions about themselves.
