Ostracism: The Power of Silence (Emotions & Social Behavior) [Hardcover]
Kipling D. WilliamsReview
'Relying on a judicious mix of case studies, experiments, and role play, Williams explores ostracism in narratives, the laboratory, office settings, and even on the internet (being shunned online is by no means uncommon). This wonderful 11-chapter book illustrates that important, unexplored issues amenable to traditional social psychological analysis remain to be explored.' - Choice
'This is a scholarly, engaging, and lucidly written work. Williams, a foremost authority on the topic, has done an admirable job documenting the prevalence of ostracism across history, cultures, and the course of human development ... Social scientists and undergraduate and graduate-level students will be awed by the power of this book to explain a complex phenomenon so elegantly, and to provide so many valuable insights into both the dark and bright sides of human behavior.' - Constantine Sedikides, PhD, University of Southampton, England
