ABSTRACT
We need to be aware of the ways in which our minds can be scratched by the images we hold of other people. One of the aims of this book is to try to present a sort of 'natural history' of the popular images of distant people and places that children appear to hold and the processes responsible for their formation. I hope that the identification of these images will enable readers to help their pupils acquire richer and less biased ways of looking at the world.
