This book presents a novel approach to framing the concept of stigma,
and understanding why and how it functions. Graham Scambler extends
his analysis beyond common social interactionist understandings of
stigma by linking experiences to the larger social structure—the
political economy. A Sociology of Shame and Blame 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. 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.
