- Summary:
- "The RJ Yearbox 2021 is devoted to what are at once simple and infinite: words and language. ... This last booklet is about the prejudices that lie concealed in language. Torun Lindholm Öjmyr, a researcher in psychology, writes about how our notions of 'us' and 'them' colour our ways of expressing ourselves. We divide people in the surrounding world into in-groups and out-groups, and do so through the words we choose."--Preface.
