It presents a comprehensive and rounded life-course narrative of an ordinary man through a systematic analysis. By utilizing some established concepts and by formulating some new concepts, particularly relating childhood to adulthood and concepts related to how time is interpreted, Handel offers an advance both in methodology and in the theoretical approach to the study of the life course. Theoretically, the work falls broadly within the symbolic interactionist framework of sociological and social psychological thought. Methodologically, it argues for the careful study of the lives of ordinary people, people who are not celebrities or exotics, thus people who have no claim on public attention. This important new work will be a welcome addition to the literature on life course studies.The first part of the book explores the idea of the life course in its various contexts: the community, the historical, the narrative, and the theoretical. The second part introduces and reproduces verbatim the life history of Tony Santangelo, an ordinary, working-class man. The third part discusses and analyzes the life history presented. Because most life histories are edited, this book, unique in its exact reproduction of the subject's narrative, makes it possible for the reader to use the information in the life history in ways different from Handel's use.Contributions in sociology ;no. 130.Middle-aged menNew York (State)New YorkWorking classNew York (State)New YorkCity and town lifeNew York (State)New YorkYorkville (New York, N.Y.)Social conditionsYorkville (New York, N.Y.)Economic conditionsMiddle-aged menWorking classCity and town life305.244Handel Gerald1797052DLCDLCDLCBOOK9910969915203321Making a life in Yorkville4339115UNINA
