This book focuses on the ubiquitous and powerful effects of ostracism, social exclusion, rejection, and bullying. Human beings are an intrinsically gregarious species. Most of our evolutionary success is no doubt due to our highly developed ability to cooperate and interact with each other. It is thus not surprising that instances of interpersonal rejection and social exclusion would have an enormously detrimental impact on the individual. Until 10 years ago, however, social psychology regarded ostracism, rejection and social exclusion as merely outcomes to be avoided, but we knew very little about their antecedents and consequences, and about the processes involved when they occurred. Furthermore, the literatures of ostracism, social exclusion and rejection have not until now included discussions of the bullying literature.

Download Defiled Trades and Social Outcasts Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book presents a social and cultural history of 'dishonourable people' (unehrliche Leute), an outcast group in early modern Germany. Executioners, skinners, grave-diggers, shepherds, barber-surgeons, millers, linen-weavers, sow-gelders, latrine-cleaners, and bailiffs were among the 'dishonourable' by virtue of their trades. This dishonour was either hereditary, often through several generations, or it arose from ritual pollution whereby honourable citizens could become dishonourable by coming into casual contact with members of the outcast group. The dishonourable milieu of the city of Augsburg from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries is reconstructed to show the extent to which dishonour determined the life-chances and self-identity of dishonourable people. The book then investigates how honourable estates interacted with dishonourable people, and how the pollution anxieties of early modern Germans structured social and political relations within honourable society.

Download Chinese Outcasts Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Outcasts and pariahs are known to exist in several Asian countries but have usually not been associated with traditional Chinese society. Chinese Outcasts shows that some Chinese were in fact treated as outcasts or semi-outcasts. They include the boat people of South China and certain less well-known groups in different regions, including the "musicians' households" and the "fallen people". The reasons for their inferior status and perceived impurity is examined, as well as the intent behind a series of imperial emancipation edicts in the 1720s and 30s. The edict provided an escape route from inferior legal status but failed to put a quick end to customary social discrimination.

Download The Ledger and the Chain Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
An award-winning historian reveals the harrowing forgotten story of America's internal slave trade—and its role in the making of America. Slave traders are peripheral figures in most histories of American slavery. But these men—who trafficked and sold over half a million enslaved people from the Upper South to the Deep South—were essential to slavery's expansion and fueled the growth and prosperity of the United States. In The Ledger and the Chain, acclaimed historian Joshua D. Rothman recounts the shocking story of the domestic slave trade by tracing the lives and careers of Isaac Franklin, John Armfield, and Rice Ballard, who built the largest and most powerful slave-trading operation in American history. Far from social outcasts, they were rich and widely respected businessmen, and their company sat at the center of capital flows connecting southern fields to northeastern banks. Bringing together entrepreneurial ambition and remorseless violence toward enslaved people, domestic slave traders produced an atrocity that forever transformed the nation.

Download Social Outcasts: the Social Outcast in Bette Greene's Young Adult Literature Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Literature teems with images of the social outcast from a variety of times and cultures as it seeks to examine and reveal motivating factors that drive intolerance. Drawing from studies of American southern culture through shifting time periods, this thesis provides a historical backdrop as it explores specific social outcasts depicted in Bette Greene's novels Summer of My German Solder, Morning Is A Long Time Coming and The Drowning of Stephan Jones. Through the history and settings of the novels, Greene provides significant cultural information through which the actions of her characters can be analyzed. Alienation, bullying and discrimination are prominent factors as they relate to the idea of the social outcast. Current interest and research into the plight of the social outcast reveals that human beings are socially dependent creatures who have a strong need for acceptance and that those targeted for social exclusion are often confused and devastated by their ostracism. Greene does an excellent job of illustrating this need for acceptance as she explores the vulnerability of the social outcast and the dangers that discrimination and bullying pose to society as a whole. Greene, who herself was bullied and discriminated against as a child, uses her writing to bring awareness to her young readers about this timely and important subject. Using material collected from a personal interview with the author, close readings of her novels, and research on relevant social/historical contexts, this thesis examines the rendering of the social outcast in Greene's fiction and the effects that social ostracism has on the individual.
