{"product_id":"stigma-imogen-tyler-9781350379275","title":"Stigma: The Machinery of Inequality","description":"\u003cp\u003eStigma is a corrosive social force by which individuals and communities throughout history have been systematically dehumanised, scapegoated and oppressed. From the literal stigmatizing (tattooing) of criminals in ancient Greece, to modern day discrimination against Muslims, refugees and the 'undeserving poor', stigma has long been a means of securing the interests of powerful elites. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this radical reconceptualisation Tyler precisely and passionately outlines the political function of stigma as an instrument of state coercion. Through an original social and economic reframing of the history of stigma, Tyler reveals stigma as a political practice, illuminating previously forgotten histories of resistance against stigmatization, boldly arguing that these histories provide invaluable insights for understanding the rise of authoritarian forms of government today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Imogen Tyler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350379271\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350379275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.15h x 6.20w x 0.85d","brand":"Imogen Tyler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518259310847,"sku":"9781350379275","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_377aaf8e-af3c-4ca0-b314-6f9343d01198.jpg?v=1778733995","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stigma-imogen-tyler-9781350379275","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
