Produktbeschreibung

Sociologists have long been curious about the ways in which city dwellers negotiate urban public space. In Urban Nightlife, sociologist Reuben May undertakes a nuanced examination of urban nightlife, drawing on ethnographic data gathered in a southern US college town, to explore the question of how nighttime revellers negotiate urban public spaces as they go about meeting, socializing, and entertaining themselves.
