Sanford Berman (editor)Published: 21/11/2013
First published in 1971 (by Scarecrow Press), Prejudices and Antipathies marked the opening salvo in the fight to rid the Library of Congress Subject Headings of bias. In the ensuing decades, many of its recommendations have been embraced. Progress has been made but problems persist.
The McFarland edition of 1993 includes corrections, a new foreword by Eric Moon, a new preface and an index.
