Why do stereotypes exist? How did they originate, and what truths or misunderstandings lie at their core? Stereotypesdelves into the fascinating historical roots of widely held beliefs about different cultures, genders, professions, and social groups. From the "stingy Scotsman" to the "French romantic," from gendered expectations to modern media caricatures, this book unpacks the sociopolitical, cultural, and historical events that gave rise to these perceptions.

Blending rigorous research with compelling storytelling, Stereotypes challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions while uncovering how these notions have shaped—and been shaped by—history. This thought-provoking exploration encourages readers to see beyond surface-level generalizations and engage with the complexities of human identity.
