While intergroup relations research has expanded globally, few resources offer a comprehensive grounding in its major theories. This book bridges that gap by providing critical assessments of the major theories of intergroup relations, their applied implications, and the empirical research that tests them. It traces the development of the field by examining major theories of intergroup behavior - from identity-based, materialist, and irrationalist perspectives to theories centered on justice, conflict, evolution, and system justification - and also critically assesses assimilation, multiculturalism, omniculturalism, and intergroup contact. The book concludes by showing how integrating existing theories with feminist frameworks, allyship, and intersectionality can help build more powerful and coherent models for understanding intergroup relations. By systematically analyzing these approaches and their practical applications, Theories of Intergroup Relations deepens our understanding of intergroup dynamics and supports the development of strategies for fostering more harmonious relations among diverse groups.
