First published in 1932, "The Taxi-Dance Hall" is Paul Goalby Cressey's fascinating study of Chicago's urban nightlife--as seen through the eyes of the patrons, owners, and dancers-for-hire who frequented the city's notoriously seedy "taxi-dance" halls.
Taxi-dance halls, as the introduction notes, were social centers where men could come and pay to dance with "a bevy of pretty, vivacious, and often mercenary" women. Ten cents per dance was the usual fee, with half the proceeds going to the dancer and the other half to the owner of the taxi-hall. Cressey's study includes detailed maps of the taxi-dance districts, illuminating interviews with dancers, patrons, and owners, and vivid analyses of local attempts to reform the taxi-dance hall and its attendees.
Cressey's study reveals these halls to be the distinctive urban consequence of tensions between a young, diverse, and economically independent population at odds with the restrictive regulations of Prohibition America. Thick with sexual vice, ethnic clashes, and powerful undercurrents of class, "The Taxi-Dance Hall" is a landmark example of Chicago sociology, perfect for scholars and history buffs alike.

评分舞厅是一个截面。截的是人，截的是种种社会挤压与离心之下的边缘生活。追求一种不用范畴切割的完整的还原。芝加哥学派理念上的价值无涉之中又有某种自以为全知全觉式的自负。总归带有当时当刻根深蒂固的主流意识形态的影子。
