The classic study of a poor community in Boston’s North End in the mid-twentieth century. Street Corner Society is one of a handful of works that can justifiably be called classics of sociological research. William Foote Whyte's account of the Italian American slum he called “Cornerville”—Boston's North End—has been the model for urban ethnography for fifty years. By 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. This fiftieth anniversary edition includes a new preface and revisions to the methodological appendix. In a new section on the book’s legacy, Whyte responds to 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 author’s first research assistant, is preserved. “Street Corner Society broke new ground and set a standard for field research in American cities that remains a source of intellectual challenge.”—Robert Washington, Reviews in Anthropology

Street Corner Secrets challenges widespread notions of sex work in India by examining solicitation in three spaces within the city of Mumbai that are seldom placed within the same analytic frame—brothels, streets, and public day-wage labor markets (nakas), where sexual commerce may be solicited discretely alongside other income-generating activities. Focusing on women who migrated to Mumbai from rural, economically underdeveloped areas within India, Svati P. Shah argues that selling sexual services is one of a number of ways women working as laborers may earn a living, demonstrating that sex work, like day labor, is a part of India's vast informal economy. Here, various means of earning—legitimized or stigmatized, legal or illegal—overlap or exist in close proximity to one another, shaping a narrow field of livelihood options that women navigate daily. In the course of this rich ethnography, Shah discusses policing practices, migrants' access to housing and water, the idea of public space, critiques of states and citizenship, and the discursive location of violence within debates on sexual commerce. Throughout, the book analyzes the epistemology of prostitution, and the silences and secrets that constitute the discourse of sexual commerce on Mumbai's streets.

This paperback edition of A Place on the Corner marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of Elijah Anderson's sociological classic, a study of street corner life at a local barroom/liquor store located in the ghetto on Chicago's South Side. Anderson returned night after night, month after month, to gain a deeper understanding of the people he met, vividly depicting how they created—and recreated—their local stratification system. In addition, Anderson introduces key sociological concepts, including "the extended primary group" and "being down." The new preface and appendix in this edition expand on Anderson's original work, telling the intriguing story of how he went about his field work among the men who frequented Jelly's corner.

Using a narrative approach unique to organizational studies, Czarniawska employs literary devices to uncover the hidden workings of organizations. She shows how the interpretive description of organizational worlds works as a distinct genre of social analysis, and her investigations ultimately disclose the paradoxical nature of organizational life: we follow routine in order to change, and decentralize in order to control. By confronting such paradoxes, we bring crisis to existing institutions and enable them to change.

Em fevereiro de 1937, o então jovem economista William Foote Whyte, com uma bolsa de iniciação de Harvard, decidiu estudar um bairro italiano pobre de Boston, a que deu o nome de Cornerville. Um clássico da pesquisa sociológica, o trabalho de Whyte sobre Cornerville tem servido como modelo para a etnografia urbana há quase 70 anos. Utilizando o método de observação participante, o autor revela um mundo de intrincadas relações sociais, considerando pessoas e situações reais. Com seu olhar profundo e detalhista, Whyte mudou a maneira de se compreender a pobreza e a vida nas grandes cidades. A versão ora lançada no Brasil é traduzida da edição comemorativa de 50 anos de "Sociedade de esquina". Nela o leitor encontra a obra original enriquecida com os anexos posteriormente elaborados pelo autor; as respostas que formulou às críticas que recebeu; uma seção sobre "Cornerville revisitado", em que segue a carreira de alguns dos personagens principais do livro; um corajoso comentário que fez do livro meio século depois. De suma importância também é o depoimento de um dos "rapazes de esquina", Angelo Orlandella, a respeito do impacto da obra de Whyte sobre sua vida, incluído igualmente nesta edição.
