"Sidewalk" By Mitchell Duneier
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Mitchell Duneier, a sociologist with a rather impressive curriculum vitae to his credit, spent five years of his otherwise privileged life keeping company with drunks, derelicts, drug addicts and the homeless on the sidewalks of New York's Greenwich Village. His purpose was not to exploit the individuals whose reason for being on these streets is to drum up whatever income they can by selling books and magazines; rather, it was to learn and understand why they were there. Many of the men with whom Duneier encountered were what one might consider as victims of society, those who were – for one reason or another – unable to assimilate themselves into the social norm; others, however, did not care to be involved with the stringent expectations of social norm and chose instead to seek out their living by way of this unique entrepreneurial approach.
