A Columbia Centennial Classic 1893-1993. Second Expanded Edition.
In 1974, a young anthropologist began a year of living in an impoverished Neapolitan neighborhood called Fontana del Re.
Thomas Belmonte got to know the young men who drift by day and steal by night; he spent evenings with families of overworked husbands and wives jammed into squalid apartments with too many children. He watched people steal from their best friends in a world where almost no deed, however foul, justified summoning of the despised police..... In a book of uncommon eloquence Mr Belmonte has drawn a series of unsparing portraits showing us how these people live.
