What a great find. I volunteer with two organizations which operate on the Southside of Chicago. I do have some 'street experience'. But this book opened up an entirely new world and expanded my view. Dr. Anderson presents a study of how people interact and attempt to remain safe in the public spaces of poor, inner city neighborhoods. Not only that, but he also given an explanation of how and why this culture evolved. He provides a great deal of info, both theory and practical. While his work is scholarly, this book is written for the general public; very readable. Highly recommend. ( ) This book was insightful in helping me understand why the social opposition identity paradigm is so important to those who live by the street code. Mr. Anderson does a tremendous job in detailing how it is so precarious for so called decent and street people to share the same public space. The book takes us along a Philadelphia street called, German town Avenue and how the various social classes interact with members of other social classes and those of their own kind. It is a book work reading especially if you want to know why the ravage-poor behave the way they do. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Inner-city black America is often stereotyped as a place of random violence, but in fact, violence in the inner city is regulated through an informal but well-known code of the street. This unwritten set of rules--based largely on an individual's ability to command respect--is a powerful and pervasive form of etiquette, governing the way in which people learn to negotiate public spaces. Elijah Anderson's incisive book delineates the code and examines it as a response to the lack of jobs that pay a living wage, to the stigma of race, to rampant drug use, to alienation and lack of hope.
