Description



Book Synopsis



What is stigma, and how does it shape social life?

This ambitious and accessible introduction to the sociology of stigma examines how shaming and stigmatization operate in 21st century societies, from everyday interactions to wider social structures and cultural processes. It brings together classical and contemporary sociological theories to explain how stigma is produced, experienced and sustained, while developing a new framework that connects micro-, meso- and macro-social perspectives with questions of structure, culture and agency.

This is an essential resource for students, researchers and practitioners seeking to understand one of the enduring challenges of contemporary social life.
