OUTSIDERS
Studies in the Sociology
of Deviance
Howard S. Becker
[A FREE PRESS PAPERBACK, 1963]

I found this paperback at my day job today... I work for a bunch of socs in this 250-year-old building on a balcony that feels like something out of Hogwarts. There's a chapter on Becoming a Marihuana User: Learning the Technique, Learning to Preceive the Effects and Learning to Enjoy the Effects... Becker's theory on outsiders and the way they are perceived has a lot to do with labeling... so, if someone calls you a fag or a dyke, just kick'em in the ass...
