“当我踏进模特经纪公司办公室的那一刻，就走进了一个充满伦理、政治、女性主义的研究困境。”曾在纽约和伦敦做过模特的社会学家阿什利·米尔斯，以内行人的视角展现了模特世界的规则，检视了人们习以为常的“美丽”是如何定义的。书中涉及对男模、女模、经纪人、客户、摄影师、造型师等角色的广泛访谈，展现了魅力产业背后的政治与经济，甚至随意性。在这条深藏不露的文化生产流水线上，好看不是唯一的标准，合适的外形才是时尚的起源，人们接受训练、推销、打造成珍贵的商品。该书对新文化经济中的社会分析，经济社会学中性别与阶层研究带来了新的启发。

With profound insight into the complexities of the human experience, Harvard psychologist Gordon Allport organized a mass of research to produce a landmark study on the roots and nature of prejudice. First published in 1954, The Nature of Prejudice remains the standard work on discrimination. Now this classic study is offered in a special unabridged edition with a new introduction by Kenneth Clark of Columbia University and a new preface by Thomas Pettigrew of Harvard University.Allport’s comprehensive and penetrating work examines all aspects of this age-old problem: its roots in individual and social psychology, its varieties of expression, its impact on the individuals and communities. He explores all kinds of prejudice-racial, religious, ethnic, economic and sexual-and offers suggestions for reducing the devastating effects of discrimination.The additional material by Clark and Pettigrew updates the social-psychological research in prejudice and attests to the enduring values of Allport’s original theories and insights.
