William Foote Whytes account of the Italian American slum he called \"Cornerville\"-Bostons North End-has been the model for urban ethnography for fifty years. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy mapping the intricate social worlds of street gangs and \"corner boys,\" Whyte was among the first to demonstrate that a poor community need not be socially disorganized. His writing set a standard for vivid portrayals of real people in real situations. And his frank discussion of his methodology-participant observation-has served as an essential casebook in field research for generations of students and scholars. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fiftieth anniversary edition includes a new preface and revisions to the methodological appendix. In a new section on the books legacy, Whyte responds to recent challenges to the validity, interpretation, and uses of his data. \"The Whyte Impact on the Underdog,\" the moving statement by a gang leader who became the authors first research assistant, is preserved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eStreet Corner Society\u003c\/i\u003e broke new ground and set a standard for field research in American cities that remains a source of intellectual challenge.\"-Robert Washington, \u003ci\u003eReviews in Anthropology\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49678880145648,"sku":"NEW0226895424","price":399.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/street-corner-society-the-social-structure-of-an-italian-sl","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
