In Disrupting Dignity, Stephen M. Engel and Timothy S. Lyle explore the darker side of dignity, tracing its invocation across public health politics, popular culture, and law from the early years of the HIV/AIDS crisis to our current moment. With a compassionate eye, Engel and Lyle detail how politicians, policymakers, media leaders, and even some within LGBTQ+ communities have used the concept of dignity to shame and disempower members of those communities. They convincingly show how dignity-and the subsequent chase to be defined by its terms-became a tool of the state and the marketplace thereby limiting its more radical potential. Ultimately, Engel and Lyle challenge our understanding of dignity as an unquestioned good. They expose the constraining work it accomplishes and the exclusionary ideas about respectability that it promotes. To restore a lost past and point to a more inclusive future, they assert the worthiness of queer lives beyond dignity's limits"-- |cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Sexual minorities |zUnited States |xHistory. |=^A707572 650 0 Sexual minorities |zUnited States |xSocial conditions. |=^A707572 650 0 Gay rights |zUnited States |xHistory. |=^A368860 650 0 Dignity. |=^A306090 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. |2bisacsh 650 7 Dignity. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00893760 650 7 Gay rights. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00939213 650 7 Sexual minorities. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01202158 651 7 United States. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01204155 |?UNAUTHORIZED 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Lyle, Timothy S., |eauthor. |=^A1426444 949 |i30372017341428 |ojjlm 960 |o1 |s99.00 |tJoyner48 |uJAPP |zUSD 596 1 998 5696484
