Drawing on the emerging field of narrative theory in sociology and psychology, this book analyzes how people respond to unemployment and job loss and explores the consequences for self-esteem and identity. It argues that an individual?»s response to job loss is a product of the shape of the story they tell about their experience, and that this in turn is a product of both individual creativity and the structuring effects of their social location.
