Prejudice
History and politics can produce animosity among groups, but the ability to hate also seems to be an enduring characteristic of human behavior. What are the foundations of prejudice? Political scientist Rogers Smith (Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania) and literary scholar Christopher Lane (Professor of English, Northwestern University) join Chicago Public Radio's Gretchen Helfrich for the discussion. Smith is author of "Stories of Peoplehood: The Politics and Morals of Political Membership" and "Civic Ideals: Conflicting Visions of Citizenship in U.S. History." Lane is author of "Hatred and Civility: The Antisocial Life in Victorian England." He's also editor of "The Psychoanalysis of Race."
