The acclaimed sociologist's landmark, compassionate work on how
society treats those who are different 'By definition, of course,
we believe the person with a stigma is not quite human' In ancient
times stigma were physical marks branded on people considered unfit
to be in society. Today social stigma shames those seen as
'abnormal' in more insidious ways. Erving Goffman's defining
sociological study draws extensively on the lived experiences of
those who have found themselves on the edges of society to look at
the complex ways in which stigmatized individuals see and project
themselves, the strategies they use to deal with rejection, and how
stigma can shatter their relationships with others. 'His brilliant
book' Guardian
