From the Back Cover

'I don't like colored people.' 'He's lazy because he's colored.' Similar attitudes have too many echoes in American society. What distinguishes these particular comments is that they were made by preschool-age children, the former by a five-year-old white, the latter by a four-year-old black. The general public might be amazed to find that statements of this type were made by such young children, yet it is now widely accepted by social scientists that racial attitudes are learned during preschool years.

Synopsis

Studies the formulation of racial attitudes in pre-school children through research on playmate and doll selection, portrait drawings, and stories, and offers specific measures to counteract early prejudice.
