从埃及第一王朝美尼斯所建的首都城市孟菲斯至今,人类社会的城市化进程已经进行了5000多年,回归田园从来不是主旋律,更多人向往的是城市的规范、便捷和舒适。中世纪的民谚“城市的空气使人自由”倘若还能一窥城市曾经的胸怀,今日的反行乞法案、暂住证制度等,已经把城市推向...

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.
NY city的cops就是中国的城管,当然,人家敬业的多。
评分植根于芝派传统,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。
评分太有趣了。
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-"does it say 'Fuck' in the book?" -"Yes." -"I like it."
