Summary

This is a sobering look at what happens to men -- and their families -- who are unemployed for six months or longer. An insightful and sensitive account of the social and psychological consequences of unemployment, the book presents portraits of these men coupled with provocative theoretical analysis. It should be of interest to those studying the sociology and psychology of work, male identity, bereavement and trauma. -- From product description.
