"In this fascinating and radical reconceptualization of stigma, Imogen Tyler precisely
and passionately outlines its political function, revealing it as a political practice
and an instrument of state coercion. From the literal stigmatizing (tattooing) of
criminals in ancient Greece, to the effects of modern-day austerity, fiscal economics
and approaches to public expenditure, stigma is revealed as having long been a means
of securing the interests of powerful elites. And today, from discrimination against
Muslims, refugees and the 'undeserving poor' to issues of mental health, Tyler provides
a bold and clear investigation, revealing how the history of stigma provides an invaluable
lens for understanding the rise of authoritarian forms of government." -- book jacket
