The Dignity of Working Men: Morality and the Boundaries of Race, Class, and Immigration - by Michèle Lamont

Michèle Lamont’s The Dignity of Working Men investigates the ways in which working-class men in the U.S. navigate issues of morality, race, class, and immigration. Drawing on extensive ethnographic research, Lamont examines how these men, especially those in lower-income and immigrant communities, construct a sense of personal dignity in the face of economic hardship and social marginalization.
