The volume vivid, ethnographic reports focuses on the communication that helps workers manage the moral, social, and physical "stains" that derive from engaging in such occupations. The creative ways that those who perform such dirty work learn to communicate-and with outsiders-regulates the negative aspects of the work itself and emphases the positives so that workers can maintain a sense of self-value even while performing devalued occupations. 517 3 $aSocial construction of taint 606 $aWork$xSocial aspects 606 $aStigma (Social psychology) 606 $aOccupational prestige 606 $aOccupations$xPsychological aspects 606 $aWork$xPsychological aspects 606 $aQuality of work life 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWork$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aStigma (Social psychology) 615 0$aOccupational prestige. 615 0$aOccupations$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aWork$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aQuality of work life. 676 $a306.3/61 701 $aDrew$b Shirley K$0937159 701 $aMills$b Melanie$f1958-$0937160 701 $aGassaway$b Bob M$0937161 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451442903321 996 $aDirty work$92110758 997 $aUNINA
