An account of the experiences of men who are repeatedly arrested
for public drunkenness. This book challenges the idea that these
men are simply rejects from society, who cannot organize their
behavior by cultural traditions. Using the recently discovered
methods of formal ethnographic analysis, the author presents this
urban sub-culture as it relates to law enforcement agencies. Life
in one jail is described in detail, showing how it changes the
men's personal identities, teaching them the skills of this
sub-culture and motivating them to adopt a nomadic way of life
where drinking is a great social value. Originally published by
Little, Brown and Company in 1970.
