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. 410 0$aContributions in sociology ;$vno. 130. 606 $aMiddle-aged men$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aWorking class$zNew York (State)$zNew York 606 $aCity and town life$zNew York (State)$zNew York 607 $aYorkville (New York, N.Y.)$xSocial conditions 607 $aYorkville (New York, N.Y.)$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aMiddle-aged men 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aCity and town life 676 $a305.244 700 $aHandel$b Gerald$01797052 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910969915203321 996 $aMaking a life in Yorkville$94339115 997 $aUNINA
