Professor Ezekiel's long-standing research interests were in the area of the social psychology of intergroup life in the United States. From his classic research article on the impact of the Peace Corps on the lives of volunteers through his book, Voices from the Corner, on the ways inner city men construct the meaning of their lives, and most recently in a new book, The Racist Mind, on the beliefs and self-conceptions of members of extremist groups, Professor Ezekiel has illuminated how the most committed, the most disadvantaged, and the most alienated talk about themselves and others in an often divided society.
