Paperback. Originally published 35 years ago, 'Soulside' has become a classic of urban anthropology.

Num Pages: 236 pages, bibliographical references. BIC Classification: 1KBBFC; JFSL3. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 255 x 182 x 15. Weight in Grams: 444.
For an outsider, the prospect of blending into the fabric of an urban African American ghetto might be an intimidating one. But for a Scandinavian scholar, the idea of getting to know one of Washington DC's toughest neighborhoods from the inside during the racially tense, late 1960s, could well have seemed impossible. Conducting fieldwork in and around Winston Street, Ulf Hannerz did just that. Soulside details the everyday lives of the ghetto inhabitants he observed and participated with during this period, revealing their beliefs and expectations and the diversity of their life styles.
