Acclaimed Harvard sociologist makes the case for reexamining what we value to prioritize recognition--the quest for respect--in an age that has been defined by growing inequality and the obsolescence of the American dream. In this capstone work, Michèle Lamont unpacks the power of recognition--rendering others as visible and valued--by drawing on nearly forty years of research and new interviews with young adults, and with cultural icons and change agents who intentionally practice recognition--from Nikole Hannah Jones and Cornel West to Michael Schur and Roxane Gay. She shows how new narratives are essential for everyone to feel respect and assert their dignity. Decades of neoliberalism have negatively impacted our sense of self-worth, up and down the income ladder, just as the American dream has become out of reach for most people. By prioritizing material and professional success, we have judged ourselves and others in terms of self-reliance, competition, and diplomas. The foregrounding of these attributes of the upper-middle class in our values system feeds into the marginalization of workers, people of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and minority groups. The solution, Lamont argues, is to shift our focus towards what we have in common while actively working to recognize the diverse ways one can live a life. Building on Lamont's lifetime of expertise and revelatory connections between broad-ranging issues, Seeing Others delivers realistic sources of hope: By reducing stigma, we put change within reach. Just as Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone did for a previous generation, Seeing Others strikes at the heart of our modern struggles and illuminates an inclusive path forward with new ways for understanding our world.

This one has been on my book club's radar for months and we finally got around to reading it in August — but now I'm not sure any other book will ever come close to measuring up! Verghese's tale of two orphaned brothers bound together by medicine, miracles, and fate is too expansive and complex for me to possibly explain here. In addition to the globe-trotting plot — from India to Ethiopia to New York and beyond — the novel touches on so many deep themes that you really just have to read it with someone so you can discuss every new development. Seriously, grab a friend and bring them along for the ride.—Whitney J.
