Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt/synopsis : Rosemary 'Mamie' Adkins pens her story of survival as a heart rending account of her life that took sixteen years to write. Her message to other victims is to 'share your story' with someone you trust and if you are able, 'shout it out' to other victims, showing them how you overcame and got help. Always 'nurture your spirit' --it belongs to you and no one can take it away from you. Be healthy and never give up!

Book excerpt/synopsis : Stigma is a corrosive social force by which individuals and communities throughout history have been systematically dehumanised, scapegoated and oppressed. From the literal stigmatizing (tattooing) of criminals in ancient Greece, to modern day discrimination against Muslims, refugees and the 'undeserving poor', stigma has long been a means of securing the interests of powerful elites. In this radical reconceptualisation Tyler precisely and passionately outlines the political function of stigma as an instrument of state coercion. Through an original social and economic reframing of the history of stigma, Tyler reveals stigma as a political practice, illuminating previously forgotten histories of resistance against stigmatization, boldly arguing that these histories provide invaluable insights for understanding the rise of authoritarian forms of government today.
