DISCUSSION & RECEPTION
GETTING RESPECT
Responding to Stigma and Discrimination
in the United States, Brazil & Israel
“Getting Respect brings a powerful comparative lens to
understanding the experiences of disadvantaged minorities.
With fresh data from the United States, Brazil, and Israel,
Michèle Lamont and her colleagues sketch a rich portrait of
responses to encounters with discrimination. This ambitious
book reveals anew the deep complexity, contextual variation,
and poignant human meaning of ethnoracial disadvantage.
It is a must-read for all those interested in the contemporary
dynamics of ethnoracial identities and struggles.”
— Lawrence Bobo, Harvard University
