The End of Stigma?: Changes in the Social Experience of Long-Term Illness
Autor Gill Greenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 feb 2009
Behaviour, lifestyle and identity are no longer the results of mass-production by social class and nation, but increasingly the quirky and unique eccentricities of the individual as consumer, reflexive citizen and free agent. But if the hallmark of the post-modern world is endless variety and unlimited sub-cultural freedom, should we not be witnessing "The End of Stigma"? The book takes Fukuyama’s notion of "The End of History" and examines contemporary challenges to the stigma associated with chronic illness.
Award-winning author Gill Green examines cases of HIV, mental illness and substance misuse, to provide new insights into stigma in health. She demonstrates that people with long-term conditions refuse to be defined by their condition and highlights their increasingly powerful voice. The End of Stigma? will be of interest to a wide range of students and health professionals in medical sociology, health studies and social care.

Recenzii
‘Green brings the theoretical arguments surrounding the experience of stigma in people with long term illnesses right up to date. She makes excellent use of empirical research – both her own and other peoples’ – to support and contextualise her arguments. This is a very useful book for a broad range of social science students as well as those interested in the experience of long term illness in the twenty-first century. I would highly recommend it’ – Sociology of Health and Illness
