| Abstract | "The Shaming State is a comparative study of the impact of market fundamentalism on late modern American society. By looking at refugee resettlement and post-disaster relief programs, the book argues that withholding social welfare generates feelings of shame which are transformed into punitive feelings and expressions of hostility against marginalized groups"-- Provided by publisher. |
