Social Identity And Intergroup Relations by Henri Tajfel
An influential collection that lays the foundations of social identity theory, showing how group memberships shape self-concept and intergroup behavior through categorization and social comparison. Drawing on experiments such as the minimal group paradigm, it explains the emergence of in-group favoritism, stereotypes, and discrimination, and analyzes how status, boundary permeability, and legitimacy affect group strategies from individual mobility to social creativity and competition. Integrating cognitive and societal perspectives, it illuminates the dynamics of prejudice, conflict, and pathways for intergroup change.
