Two Social Psychologies of Prejudice: Gordon W. Allport, W.E.B. Du Bois, and the Legacy of Booker T. Washington

Edward S. Reed

Franklin and Marshall College

This article describes two distinct lines of theory and research on the social psychology of prejudice. The first (i.e., mainstream) line acknowledges an intellectual debt to Gordon W Allport and has tended to focus on the destructive effects of prejudice and discrimination on African Americans and other ethnic minorities. The second (i.e., "underground") line, in contrast, acknowledges an intellectual debt to WE.B. Du Boisand has tended tofocusonAfricanAmericans' (and other ethnic minorities') rich cultural heritage that has sustained them through times of slavery and/or segregation. Throughout this article, Booker T Washington's conciliatory stance regarding ethnic relations is used as a point of departure for exploring the differences and similarities between the two social psychologies of prejudice.
