| Meer info | A sociological study of the native-born Americans of Italian parentage who lived in Boston's West End during the fifties. Herbert Gans' classic The Urban Villagers provides another look at the concept neighborhood. Much as in South Philadelphia, the Urban Villagers were close-knit groups of Italian families who lived working class lives. In the case of the Urban Villagers, however, the large, unattractive buildings they occupied made it easy for an outsider to mistake a community for an impoverished ghetto. One consequence of this is that the Urban Village no longer exists: relegated by city and federal officials to the status of a slum, it fell victim to urban renewal, and was bulldozed to make room for upscale apartment buildings. The Urban Villagers is a fascinating book that shows how ethnography should be done. It also enables us to see that neighborhoods, from time to time and place to place, take many forms. Surely, a resident of Boston or Philadelphia driving down Route 10 in West Virginia would not recognize a neighborhood if he or she saw one. Proponents of urban renewal made the same mistake in Boston. |
