City sextons are a dying breed and in this book sextons from
throughout the United States share their experiences as a city's
chief death expert. With a view to investigating their role in
local governance processes, how they contribute to public
engagement in cities, and what are some misconceptions about this
role, Staci M. Zavattaro sheds light on unique public servants that
are rarely - if at all - discussed in public administration
research. Themes discussed include: background stories on each
sexton interviewed; vignettes of their most interesting stories
that can be used as case studies in public administration practice
and teaching; public history functions; self-care strategies they
use to deal with the stress of the position. City Sextons: Tales
from Municipal Leaders will be of key interest to scholars studying
public management, emotional labor, and leadership.
