An exceptional ethnography marked by clarity and candor, Sidewalk takes us into the socio-cultural environment of those who, though often seen as threatening or unseemly, work day after day on “the blocks” of one of New York’s most diverse neighborhoods. Sociologist Duneier, author of Slim’s Table, offers an accessible and compelling group portrait of several poor black men who make their livelihoods on the sidewalks of Greenwich Village selling secondhand goods, panhandling, and scavenging books and magazines.
Duneier spent five years with these individuals, and in Sidewalk he argues that, contrary to the opinion of various city officials, they actually contribute significantly to the order and well-being of the Village. An important study of the heart and mind of the street, Sidewalk also features an insightful afterword by longtime book vendor Hakim Hasan. This fascinating study reveals today’s urban life in all its complexity: its vitality, its conflicts about class and race, and its surprising opportunities for empathy among strangers.
应该被善待 但中国已经少见这种因有碍观瞻而被驱逐的边缘群体了
评分Play on lively, diversified sidewalks differs from virtually all other daily incidental play offered American children today. -Jane Jacobs
评分1.高度发达的社会,不应当将那些“不文明”“不雅观”“不高级”的小贩、乞丐急于轰出我们的视野,这样只会恶化整个社会环境 2. Honor to all the people trying not to give up hope! 3.如果我以后发文章,从文字到图片都要一手操办,嗯我就是monopoly
评分对于无家可归者,必须要有比“无家可归者”更为丰富的解读。这本书做到了,给出了很多路人、政策制定者从表面上无从得知的历史/事实,以及对于纽约第六大道人行道上的贫穷黑人男性的谋生之道给出逻辑判断。一个城市若要创造福祉,其关键是要给(提供、创造)边缘人群自力更生的机会,而非严格隔离。某几处读得很动人:他们不屈不饶的品质、他们生活中的温情,以及作者的人文关怀和方法上尽量的严谨得体。如果本科时能读到,可能这本书会有更大的影响力。
评分作者用五年时间在纽约第六大道和街头小贩打交道。他发现这些人事实上给社区带来了正面作用,有利于社区融合。此外,他们的选择常常是出于一种对本群体的内部关系的依赖——在这他们能得到主流社会中无法给予的温暖。这是一本民族志,但它做到了回归社会本身。
