Seller Description
**"Code of the Street: Decency, Violence, and the Moral Life of the Inner City"** by Elijah Anderson offers a profound sociological examination of urban life in America. Through detailed ethnographic research in Philadelphia, Anderson explores how residents navigate the complex social landscape of inner-city neighborhoods. The book delves into the "code of the street," a set of informal rules governing behavior and social interactions, which often arise from economic hardship and social disorganization. Anderson's work provides a nuanced understanding of the interplay between personal dignity, violence, and the pursuit of respect in marginalized communities, shedding light on broader issues of inequality and social stratification.
