"This exceptional edited book brings together insights from leading researchers to explore how, when, and why people may or may not confront expressions of prejudice and acts of discrimination. Written in a clear and accessible manner, the chapters in this volume distill hundreds of research studies to guide our understanding of the motivations and consequences of confrontation. The themes covered in this edited book are all the more important for us to reflect on, given the polarization of social and political attitudes and the proliferation of hate speech and hate crimes in our world today." --Linda R. Tropp, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences Faculty Associate, University of Massachusetts Amherst
