Minorities and segregation

Year Published: 1960

Description: Max Lerner discusses with Brandeis students’ questions concerning minorities and segregation. A few of the topics to be discussed are: is segregations in the South the result of prejudice or the result of social order; is the South’s attitude a rigid “defense mechanism” due to the pressures of the North: is the fear of inter-marriage the greatest deterrent to equality in the South; is there segregation in other minority groups; is there more than one kind of prejudice; and is it possible to hold onto one’s identity as a group and still assimilate culturally?
