This colorful and perceptive study presents persuasive evidence
that the saloon, far from being a magnet for vice and crime, played
an important role in working-class community life. Focusing on
public drinking in "wide open" Chicago and tightly controlled
Boston, Perry Duis offers a provocative discussion of the saloon as
a social institution and a locus of the struggle between
middle-class notions of privacy and working-class uses of public
space.
