This innovative study argues that intelligence is a plural concept, socially and historically determined, and that it can only be understood when the socio-psychological foundations of intelligence have been explored. It becomes clear that 'intelligence' is defined differently by different societies, and also by different sub-groups in the same society.

This book, first published in 1987, looks at the processes and spread of social innovation: the mechanisms of this innovation are rooted in the conflict that minorities are capable of creating in others and introducing into the social system. These innovations give rise to rejection, discrimination and denial of the minority group.
