Summary of Jennifer L. Eberhardt's Biased
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was extremely nervous and excited to go to a predominantly white school. I struggled to make new friends because I was always thinking about how I looked, spoke, and acted. #2 I was not alone in my struggle to understand my new classmates. I was extremely nervous about going to school, because I was not one of the popular girls, and I was sure that they would make fun of me. But I was also not aware of the racial divide in the school, and it troubled me. #3 I was convinced that my skin color had something to do with the disconnect I felt with other people. I went on to study social psychology, and race and identity have always been central to my research. #4 The fusiform face area, or FFA, is a region in the brain that helps us distinguish the familiar from the unfamiliar, and it also responds more strongly to faces that are the same race as the person doing the scanning.

Isabelle Eberhardt and North Africa
As a woman who traversed the North African Orient in male costume, who spoke Arabic as well as French, and who professed Islam while transgressing many of its instructions, Isabelle Eberhardt seems to fit within Mikhail Bakhtin’s definition of the carnivalesque as the impulse to blend that which is usually kept separate by artificial boundaries and hierarchies. Nevertheless, this study demonstrates that her evolution in the Maghreb is carnivalesque only in appearance. Despite her transvestism, the writer left unquestioned the traditional definitions of masculinity and femininity; it is her subscription to the patriarchal equation of maleness with power and womanhood with weakness which mak...
