Summary
The acclaimed social psychologist offers an insider’s look at his research and groundbreaking findings on stereotypes and identity.
Claude M. Steele, who has been called “one of the few great social psychologists,” offers a vivid first-person account of the research that supports his groundbreaking conclusions on stereotypes and identity. He sheds new light on American social phenomena from racial and gender gaps in test scores to the belief in the superior athletic prowess of black men, and lays out a plan for mitigating these “stereotype threats” and reshaping American identities.

Wonderful
Heartbreaking reality about the Black population in the educational system in the US. Very interesting analysis of identity and belonging.

An important work in our seeking an anti racist world.
Steele, an academic with strong research credentials documents the contingency, tax and identity fear true for all identity groups - and then demonstrates how we might hope to live with and eventually overcome them - as a society.

BLM: requires education and challenge
That challenge starts with knowledge and learning. What are the challenges, are they obvious and visible or deeper?
Is what you see in a situation what another sees or feels or perhaps subconsciously reacts?
This book opened my eyes with context and information beyond the obvious; it will help me challenge myself, consider others and hopefully make a more positive in life whatever the situation... beyond stereotypes... but I’ll never master whistling Vivaldi!

Boring and repetitive
Very technical book, suitable for someone who's studying psychology or social sciences and wants to use it for a piece of coursework.
For anyone else - who, like me, just wants to get closer to stereotypes and their impact on individuals - this book is repetitive, boring, and uninspiring.
It focuses time and time again on white vs. Black and on women's math skills perception. Nothing about LGBT+ or other stereotypes (age, religion, nationality, etc.).
Very dull reading, avoid if possible.
