  The celebrated National Book Award–winning writer's intimate exploration of how fact is transformed into fiction. 
   
   
   
  In this thoughtful collection of essays, Andrea Barrett draws from her experiences writing some of the most acclaimed historical fiction of our time to explore the mysteries and delights of the genre. Inspiration found in the past, she argues, can illuminate fiction, just as dust scatters light and makes the unseen visible. Delving into some of the largest questions in the genre—How does a writer find meaningful subject matter beyond the confines of their life? How are scraps of history transformed into a fully formed narrative?—Barrett explores how she came to create some of her beloved works and explores lessons gleaned from the work of such masters of historical fiction as Toni Morrison, Leo Tolstoy, Hilary Mantel, and Colm Tóibín. Candid and elegant, Dust and Light is the perfect book for anyone who loves reading fiction set in the past, as well as for anyone aspiring to write it.

  The In-Group Bias - Favoring...

  William Rands

  • 0

  In-group bias is a psychological phenomenon where individuals favor members of their own group over those belonging to other groups. This bias is rooted in the human tendency to classify people into various social categories, such as race, religion, nationality, or even less obvious distinctions like political affiliation or sports team loyalty. Once these distinctions are made, individuals typically develop a sense of belonging and loyalty to their own group—the "in-group"—while viewing outsiders, or "out-group" members, as different or inferior. 
  At its core, in-group bias serves a functional purpose in social behavior. Evolutionarily, humans have relied on social groups for survival, and belonging to a cohesive group provided benefits such as shared resources, protection, and mutual support. However, as societies evolved and became more complex, these group dynamics also gave rise to preferential treatment of those within the same group. This is not limited to obvious groups like tribes or clans but can extend to any group with which an individual identifies. Whether through shared beliefs, common goals, or even simple social interactions, in-group bias manifests in everyday life, influencing decisions, relationships, and behaviors. 
  In-group bias is a key concept in social psychology because it highlights how much of human behavior is shaped by the need for social belonging. This bias leads to favoritism in various aspects of life, from workplace promotions and academic opportunities to political support and even everyday social interactions. The impact of in-group bias can be subtle, such as favoring a colleague over an outsider for a minor task, or more overt, such as discrimination against individuals from a different ethnic background.
