Description

Our jobs are often a big part of our identities, and when we are fired, we can feel confused, hurt, and powerless - at sea in terms of who we are. Drawing on extensive, real-life interviews, Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health shines a light on the experiences of unemployed, middle-class professional men and women, showing how job loss can affect both identity and mental health.Sociologist Dawn R. Norris uses in-depth interviews to offer insight into the experience of losing a job - what it means for daily life, how the unemployed feel about it, and the process they go through as they try to deal with job loss and their new identities as unemployed people. Norris highlights several specific challenges to identity that can occur. For instance, the way other people interact with the unemployed either helps them feel sure about who they are, or leads them to question their identities. Another identity threat happens when the unemployed no longer feel they are the same person they used to be. Norris also examines the importance of the subjective meaning people give to statuses, along with the strong influence of society's expectations. For example, men in Norris's study often used the stereotype of the ""male breadwinner"" to define who they were. Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health describes various strategies to cope with identity loss, including ""shifting"" away from a work-related identity and instead emphasizing a nonwork identity (such as ""a parent""), or conversely ""sustaining"" a work-related identity even though he or she is actually unemployed. Finally, Norris explores the social factors - often out of the control of unemployed people - that make these strategies possible or impossible.A compelling portrait of a little-studied aspect of the Great Recession, Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health is filled with insight into the identity crises that unemployment can trigger, as well as strategies to help the unemployed maintain their mental strength. Review "A theoretically rich, well-written, and well-researched addition to the sociological study of employment and health."-- "Work and Occupations""Norris' book is a theoretically rich, well-written, and well-researched addition to the sociological study of employment and health"--Jeremy Staff, Department of Sociology and Criminology, Pennsylvania State University "SAGE Publications - Work and Occupations""Norris's work is an accessible and engaging exploration of the effects that involuntary job loss has on people's identities and their psychological health. Both informative and comprehensive, Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health is a well written and very worthwhile book."--Tim Strangleman "professor of sociology, University of Kent, UK""This book offers a poignant assessment of the social-psychological consequences of unemployment. Using longitudinal in-depth interviews, Norris shows the profound costs of unemployment for middle-class workers. She also thoughtfully illuminates the importance of gender in the experience of joblessness. Recommended!"--Annette Lareau "Stanley I. Sheerr Professor, University of Pennsylvania" About the Author Dawn R. Norris is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, USA.
