Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "The Hobo; The Sociology of the Homeless Man" is a foundational text in the field of urban sociology, offering an exhaustive and empathetic study of the migratory worker in early 20th-century America. Drawing on Nels Anderson's first-hand experiences and rigorous academic research, this work explores the complex social world of "Hobohemia," centered in the lodging-house districts of Chicago. Anderson systematically categorizes the different types of transient men-the hobo, the tramp, and the bum-while examining their economic contributions, unique social codes, and the structural causes of their displacement. The book provides a detailed look at the health, education, and political leanings of this marginalized population, presenting a vivid portrait of a segment of society often ignored by mainstream history. As a classic product of the Chicago School of Sociology, "The Hobo; The Sociology of the Homeless Man" remains an essential resource for understanding the historical roots of urban poverty and the social dynamics of mobility and labor. Its blend of participant observation and social analysis offers timeless insights into the human condition and the challenges of social integration in a rapidly industrializing nation.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
