"For those who wish to understand the social and political implications of the new world order this is an incomparable treatise, a book synthesizing the entire corpus of our culture, stigma, political power and everyday exclusion. The book offers prophetic insights into the nature of changes occurring in our daily lives. The book is brilliant and true to form as a valuable social study."
Terry Williams, Ph.D. The New School for Social Research"In this powerful accounting of ruling stigma, Andriichuk re-imagines for our time a concept that can help us make sense of the world we live in today. Through powerful stories of marginalized peoples, Andriichuk reminds us that we, the public, are needed for great acts of cruelty to occur. Stigma, Political Power, and Everyday Exclusion is a sobering call to action that is needed now more than ever."
Richard Greenberg, MPA Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs“Andriichuk's Stigma, Political Power, and the Right to Belong is an important contribution to democratic theory. It is both expansive and thorough in its scope. Andriichuk is a thoughtful interpreter, paying very close attention to how her theory applies in such rich and diverse cases. It informs us of the conditions often overlooked in our current discourse and, more importantly, suggests a way to move forward amongst unprecedented challenges across the globe.”
