Beschreibungen
<p>This book presents a novel approach to framing the concept of stigma, and understanding why and how it functions. </p>
<p>Graham Scambler extends his analysis beyond common social interactionist understandings of stigma by linking experiences to the larger social structure—the political economy. <i>A Sociology of Shame and Blame </i>contends that stigma is being ‘weaponised’ as part of a calculated political strategy favouring capital accumulation over justice, and addresses how the shame associated with stigma has taken on the additional dimension of blame through micro-interactions.</p>
<p>The unique Insider-Outsider approach that Scambler harnesses draws on micro and macro social theory to identify links between the prevalence of stigma and agency, culture and structure, and will be an original and key reference point for students and scholars across the social and behavioural sciences, including, but not limited to, sociology, anthropology, psychology, public health and social policy.</p><br><p></p>

<p>“Excellent account of the social forces in contemporary British society projecting public shame and blame on stigmatized groups considered outsiders. Best explanation of Brexit I have seen anywhere. Informative, thoroughly grounded in sociological theory, and well worth reading.” —William C. Cockerham, Distinguished Professor of Sociology and Chair Emeritus, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Research Scholar in Sociology, College of William & Mary, USA</p>
“Through a series of timely case-studies, Scambler pushes us beyond the comfort zone of traditional sociological enquiry, insisting that we understand stigmatisation and shaming as multi-scalar forms of power which are entangled with the imperatives of financial capitalism and neoliberal rule.” — Imogen Tyler, Professor of Sociology, Lancaster University, UK<p></p>
<p>“Scambler’s latest book is a masterful example of theory-meets-practice, seamlessly linking together macro, meso and micro spheres to skilfully meld a deepunderstanding of social theory with the contemporary concerns of shame and blame.” — Alex Broom, Scientia Professor of Sociology, University of New South Wales, Australia</p>
