Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Step into the bustling heart of early 20th-century Chicago, where this book delves into the lives of its homeless population. The author, intimately familiar with the transient lifestyle, offers a profound sociological study of the men who call the city's streets their home. This book explores the unique subculture of Chicago's homeless, revealing the social structures, economic realities, and daily routines that define their existence. From the vibrant "slave market" of West Madison Street, where employment agencies connect laborers with fleeting opportunities, to the intellectual haven of Bughouse Square, where thinkers and dreamers gather, the author paints a vivid portrait of a complex and often misunderstood community. With keen observation and empathy, this book examines the factors that lead men to homelessness, the challenges they face in securing work and maintaining health, and the coping mechanisms they develop to navigate the urban landscape. The author delves into the psychological and social implications of a life on the margins, exploring themes of isolation, resilience, and the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity. By shedding light on the lives of Chicago's homeless, this book offers timeless insights into the complexities of urban poverty and the profound impact of social and economic forces on individual lives.
