Bullying

In her social history "Bullying," Laura Martocci examines the culture that fosters bullying, analyzing how social forces like gossip, stereotyping, and competition contribute to this phenomenon. She emphasizes the role of shame and explores how societal narratives around loss, grief, and redemption can address the pain caused by social disgrace. Published by Temple University Press, the book offers a nuanced perspective on the social and psychological aspects of bullying.
