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.
植根于芝派传统,都市“深描”的经典文献。有人说好的民族志比小说好看,这本就是如此吧。附录的方法论尤为值得一读,作者不断反思和改进角色位置、介入、工具使用等等,才能做出这么经典的民族志,不容易啊。
评分NY city的cops就是中国的城管,当然,人家敬业的多。

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。
