Summary: "Implicit bias: persistent, unintentional prejudiced behavior that clashes with our consciously held beliefs. We know that it exists, to corrosive and even lethal effect. We see it in schools, where teachers are more likely to find slim children intelligent. We see it in medicine, where women-- especially women of color--receive less pain treatment than men. And as we know from the police killings of so many black people in America, bias can be deadly. But are we able to step beyond recognition of our prejudice to actually change it?"-- Provided by publisher.
