Bracher draws on studies in social cognition, social neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, political psychology, and psychoanalysis to uncover the root cognitive structures that cause misunderstandings among people and give rise to social injustice. Using the novels The Jungle, The Grapes of Wrath, and Native Son, he then demonstrates how schema criticism can correct these faulty cognitive structures and enable readers to develop more accurate and empathetic views of those they deem "Other," as well as become more aware of their own cognitive processes. Calling the book "insightful, erudite, and humane," Cognitive Approaches to Literature and Culture Series coeditor Patrick Colm Hogan says, "This inspiring book should be welcomed by literary critics, political activists, and anyone who cares about social justice."
