Samenvatting
Acclaimed Harvard sociologist makes the case for reexamining what we value to prioritize recognitionthe quest for respectin an age that has been defined by growing inequality and the obsolescence of the American dream.
In this capstone work, Michèle Lamont unpacks the power of recognitionrendering others as visible and valuedby drawing on nearly forty years of research and new interviews with young adults, and with cultural icons and change agents who intentionally practice recognitionfrom Nikole Hannah Jones and Cornel West to Michael Schur and Roxane Gay. She shows how new narratives are essential for everyone to feel respect and assert their dignity.
Decades of neoliberalism have negatively impacted our sense of self-worth, up and down the income ladder, just as the American dream has become out of reach for most people. By prioritizing material and professional success, we have judged ourselves and others in terms of self-reliance, competition, and diplomas. The foregrounding of these attributes of the upper-middle class in our values system feeds into the marginalization of workers, people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and minority groups. The solution, Lamont argues, is to shift our focus towards what we have in common while actively working to recognize the diverse ways one can live a life. Building on Lamonts lifetime of expertise and revelatory connections between broad-ranging issues, Seeing Others delivers realistic sources of hope: By reducing stigma, we put change within reach.
Just as Robert Putnams Bowling Alone did for a previous generation, Seeing Others strikes at the heart of our modern struggles and illuminates an inclusive path forward with new ways for understanding our world.
