Beschreibung:
Reuben A. Buford May is Professor of Sociology at Texas A & M University. He is the author of Talking at Trenäs: Everyday Conversations at an African American Tavern (NYU Press, 2001).
On Chicago's South Side, in the heart of a middle-class African American neighborhood, men gather after work to talk about their day, and their lives. The setting is Trena's, a popular, local watering hole where the conversation quickly turns to the hot topics of the day: race, the workplace, social class, sex, the media, and family. In this setting these men relax, open up and reveal themselves to the staff and their fellow patrons with remarkable frankness.
