It traces the path by which we create deviance: how we single out behavior, ideas, and appearances that differ from the \u201Cnorm,\u201D label them as either offensive or acceptable, and then condemn or celebrate them. The book explains what kinds of behavior are banned and who bans them, exposing the important political influences underlying these processes. Refres.
