Abstract

"Acclaimed Harvard sociologist makes the case for reexamining what we value to prioritize recognition the quest for respect in 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 recognition, rendering others as visible and valued by drawing on nearly forty years of research and new interviews with young adults, and with cultural icons and change agents who intentionally practice recognition from 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."
