The Saloon Public Drinking in Chicago and Boston, 1880-1920
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Univ of Illinois Pr
- Publish date: 02/01/1999
Description:
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.
