Description
Stigma Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity by Erving Goffman explores how society treats individuals who are perceived as different. In this landmark work, Goffman examines the complex ways in which stigmatized people see and project themselves, their strategies for dealing with rejection, and how stigma can impact relationships. Goffman's study draws on the experiences of those who have found themselves on the edges of society, providing a nuanced understanding of social stigma. This thought-provoking book offers insights into the ways in which we perceive and interact with others who are perceived as 'abnormal'. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features 160 pages in paperback format.
