- Stigma: the Machinery of Inequality, is the first monograph to undertake a long historically informed sociological study of the concept of stigma, in relationship to histories of colonial capitalism. The outcome of a 5 year research project, partly funded through a Philip Leverhulme Prize, this book involved extensive historical archival research and collaborations with activist and community groups in the area of poverty and inequalities in the UK. It builds also on a longer period of qualitative empirical research with asylum seekers, refugees and migrant groups.
