Mitchell Duneier is an American sociologist currently Professor of Sociology at Princeton University and regular Visiting Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
Duneier earned his doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1992. His first book, "Slim's Table: Race, Respectability, and Masculinity" won the 1994 American Sociological Association's award for Distinguished Scholarly Publication. He is also the author of "Sidewalk" (1999), which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and the C. Wright Mills Award.
Professor Duneier taught at the University of California-Santa Barbara, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the City University of New York (where he regularly teaches in a visiting capacity) before joining the Princeton faculty. He served on the original advisory board for National Public Radio's "This American Life.
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.
在《摩洛哥田野作业反思》和《写文化》之后,民族志写作永远失去了它(在想象中所具有)的普同性和客观性。对人类普同性的基本预设暗示了彻底“互相理解”的可能,“文化相对论”实则是对这一原则的再次确认,只不过需要改进一下理解方法。莫里斯·布洛克通过《人类学与认知挑...

评分 评分中文版的近五百页,20多年前的书今年才译介进我国。大量带引号的对话实录可能时这本城市人类学民族志最大的特点,这也使得本书读起来非常顺畅。在书末,作者还附上了一篇详细的研究方法陈述,较为全面的介绍了作者从尝试融入人行道街区、录音机的使用、与本书主要人物哈基姆共...

评分应该被善待 但中国已经少见这种因有碍观瞻而被驱逐的边缘群体了

评分NY city的cops就是中国的城管,当然,人家敬业的多。
评分作者用五年时间在纽约第六大道和街头小贩打交道。他发现这些人事实上给社区带来了正面作用,有利于社区融合。此外,他们的选择常常是出于一种对本群体的内部关系的依赖——在这他们能得到主流社会中无法给予的温暖。这是一本民族志,但它做到了回归社会本身。
