Abstract: | Shame – a feeling of social inadequacy and (the anticipation of) public humiliation – may inhibit worker activism. This article
discusses the role of shame, as an emotion and a behavioral disposition, in face-to-face confrontations between workers and
employers, embedded in an authority structure marked by patron-clientage and personal dependency. It explores how shame may
function as an obstacle to face-to-face confrontations and claim-making, and how workers and leftwing activists try to overcome
this hurdle.
