Goffman's 'Stigma' is a classic of social psychology that explores how individuals in society are marked or branded with their differentness. It looks through the eyes of the stigmatized person (the person with a disability, someone convicted of a crime, etc.) to understand not only how society treats the individual but, more tragically, how the individual shares the society's view of his/her 'spoiled' identity. Goffman explores the various interpersonal and social strategies the stigmatized person uses to try to lessen the negative social effects of the stigma. A life-changing book.
