Quarter-Cloth. Condizione: Fine-. First Edition. First Printing of this pioneering study by the noted Chicago-School sociologist. Crown 8vo (190 x 130mm): xiii,[3],13-219,[1]pp, with 16 full-page drawings (including frontispiece) by Ernie Bushmiller. Publisher's black cloth spine with paper label printed in black, illustrated ye…llow paper-covered boards, top edge stained yellow, others uncut. Wanting the dust jacket. Includes chapters on panhandling, dressing well, and poetry, and 20-page glossary of hobo terms. An exemplary example, tight, square, and clean throughout (very lightly read, if at all). "Hobohemia" was already beginning to vanish when Anderson published his first book in 1923, The Hobo, the Sociology of the Homeless Man. That study pioneered participant observation as a research tool for revealing the features of a society; it was the first field research monograph of the Chicago School of Sociology and the first in the landmark University of Chicago Sociological Series. With this sequel, Anderson hoped to offer further insight into Chicago's urban jungle and bring about better understanding between hobos and the rest of the Chicago community. Drawing on his own experience, Anderson pictures life in Halsted and State Streets in Chicago, detailing the customs and class distinctions, language, songs, morals, and intellectual life of these men, who, for widely varying reasons, chose the homeless life.
