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.
近来读的一本阅读体验非常棒的学术(?)著作 没错,在30年后的今天看来,也许现在的第六大道已经大变样,但是这本书在现实意义还是在研究意义上都具有相当大的重要性 作者采用参与观察的方式深入到街头摊贩的生活中,他在田野调查中,是以街头摊贩的一员去研究,生活的,通过坦...
评分从埃及第一王朝美尼斯所建的首都城市孟菲斯至今,人类社会的城市化进程已经进行了5000多年,回归田园从来不是主旋律,更多人向往的是城市的规范、便捷和舒适。中世纪的民谚“城市的空气使人自由”倘若还能一窥城市曾经的胸怀,今日的反行乞法案、暂住证制度等,已经把城市推向...
评分在翻开《人行道王国》之前,或许有人会产生这样的疑问:为什么我们要在2019年的现在,阅读一本美国学者写的关于上世纪九十年代纽约格林尼治村人行道上黑人摊贩的书?除了异域或者说异族的景观,这本书对我们又有多少启迪呢? 但不可否认的是,简·雅各布斯出版于1961年的《美国...
评分和《美国大城市的死与生》田调同个地方耶。指出“破窗理论”不完善之处,城市街道上形形色色的游民和摊贩并不一定是无序和危险的根源,也可能是保护社区的另一双眼睛和努力以合法方式求得生存的另一种选择。作者能够做到让黑人们都毫不避忌地拎着他的录音机帮他录音实在太神奇了。最爱最后的小剧场,卖圣诞树一家和菲籍奶奶,种族和阶级的交织和对比,温馨又辛酸。

评分2013在伦敦第一次读,第一次了解到芝加哥学派和民族志,觉得芝加哥是那么遥远的一个地方。彼时觉得社会学就跟写小说一样,动人就好。2018年在学校再读,似乎一切都是那么亲切熟悉。原来学术真的能做到人文关怀啊......
评分Play on lively, diversified sidewalks differs from virtually all other daily incidental play offered American children today. -Jane Jacobs
