Description

Explore the realities of life on the streets of New York City with New York Cab Driver and His Fare by Vidich. Published by Routledge, this work offers a deep look into the lives of cab drivers, often referred to as hacks, through extensive research and direct interviews. While drivers are frequently mentioned by politicians and in news columns, this book provides the detailed perspective that has been missing from public discourse. This book serves a dual purpose. For those interested in sociology and urban studies, it examines the professional role of drivers within the city's transportation system. For passengers, also known as fares, it acts as a practical survival manual for navigating the city. Vidich uses clear language to explain the tension drivers face as they balance providing a public service with the personal pressures and violence they encounter as working people. It is a significant study for anyone interested in anthropology, sociology, or the social dynamics of urban environments.
