Description
Summary:In Seeing Others, Michèle Lamont draws on decades of research - her own and others' - to outline how we can open up the circle of "who matters" in our societies. Through interviews with cultural change agents and young people in the United States, she identifies several strategies for extending recognition to those groups whose worth and dignity have too often been denied. This work raises important questions about the sources, reach, and content of new narratives of respect and inclusion that are urgently needed.
