Sidewalk di Mitchell Duneier

Visiting New York during my college days, I had often wondered about various street vendors, especially the book peddlers around Columbia and Greenwich Village. Mitchell Duneier decided to enter their world and get to know who they were, where their goods came from, and other questions of sociological interest. This book may be of most interest to New Yorkers, but it is a fascinating look at street culture in the areas Duneier studies.

Ghetto: The Invention of a Place, the History of an… di Mitchell Duneier

Really interesting overview of the history of the ghetto--as a physical place and an idea--and the research on it. The book isn't comprehensive; instead, it's an introduction to the historical Jewish ghetto, and then a series of chapters looking at the work of sociologists of the black ghetto in particular places (Chicago and New York) and times (from the 1940s to today).

Great read if you're not up for reading all the works he cites--though I may pick up a few!

Ghetto: The Invention of a Place, the History of an… di Mitchell Duneier

History of the ghetto as a concept, with origins in Europe describing Jewish areas and shift to the US for poor African-American areas. Duneier is mostly interested in the way that discussions often blur the ways in which US ghettos were created by force and law rather than “self-selected.” This was true of European Jewish ghettoes as well, but there were periods where those ghettoes were relatively prosperous and free (ending with the Holocaust, during which the past ghettoes were invoked to pretend that what the Nazis were doing was just more of the same). At the end he wanders a bit into the Moynihan report and diagnoses of pathology versus oppression, but it’s still an interesting story.… (altro)

Slim's Table: Race, Respectability, and Masculinity di Mitchell Duneier

I love books about Hyde Park, having grown up there, and this book is particularly interesting because it describes a part of Hyde Park that is utterly foreign to me: the interactions of older black men at Valois. I found the prose to be engaging, and Duneier's analysis of the human interactions great food for thought. No pun intended.
