Urban Villagers

Hebert J. Gans

Hebert Gans’ study of Italian Americans in Boston’s West End is one of the classics of contemporary sociology.

Providing a first-hand account of life in an inner city of contemporary sociology, Urban Villagers is a systematic and sensitive analysis of working-class culture and of the politicians, planners, and other outside professionals who affected it.
