Summary

This chapter sets out the case for studying cleaners’ dignity at work. It starts with a description of my arrival at Potsdamer Platz, of the cleaners and the corporate underworld. The overarching question concerning what happens to cleaners’ dignity in social interactions is developed, and the book’s central notion of “dramas of dignity” is introduced. The chapter ends with an overview of the subsequent chapters.
