Rereading The Jack-Roller Hidden Histories in Sociology and Social Work

摘要: I revisit one of the iconic Chicago School studies, Clifford Shaw’s The Jack-Roller. A naive reading book leaves reader with a sense having been inducted into melange what we now know as “sociology” and “social work,” but which to Shaw seems coherent stance. suggest that this is close heart how things were, not temporary distortion in distinct histories sociology social work. develop illustrate argument through hidden history an intellectual case for reciprocity between two disciplines seen some barely noticed work Ernest Burgess. conclude suggested rereading Jack-Roller supports relationship based on egalitarian respect commitment practicing positioning ourselves historical context.
