This paperback edition of A Place on Corner marks twenty-fifth anniversary of Elijah Anderson's sociological classic, a study of street corner life at a local barroom/liquor store located in ghetto on Chicago's South Side. Anderson returned night after night, month after month, to gain a deeper understanding of 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 intriguing story of how he went about his field work among men who frequented Jelly's corner.
