First line
Urban taverns and bars, like barbershops, carry-outs, and other such establishments, with their adjacent street corners and alleys, serve as important gathering places for people of the "urban villages" and ghetto areas of the city.
From the rear cover
"Anderson is the consummate participant-observer..."--William Foote Whyte, author of Street Corner Society
This paperback edition of A Place on the Corner marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Elijah Anderson's sociological classic, a study of street corner life at a local barroom/liquor store located in the ghetto on Chicago's South Side. Anderson returned night after night, month after month, to gain a deeper understanding of the people he met, vividly depicting how they created - and recreated - their local stratification system. In addition, Anderson introduces key sociological concepts, including "the extended primary group" and "being down." The new preface and appendix in this edition expand on Anderson's original work, telling the intriguing story of how he went about his field work among the men who frequented Jelly's corner.Details
