Stereotypes  (2004)

Mr. Ninvalle shows us the manner in which stereotypes concentrate, and indeed mutate, both within and among a combination of areas of ordinary social life and social-scientific studies: Everyday social practices, Race and Ethnic interactions and, in particular, known alternative discourses such as Marxism, Feminism and Afro-centrism. The tool he uses, “symbolic equations”, allows us to picture the real nature and reach of’ stereotypes, and forces us to re-examine our thinking in these and other areas.
