Stemming from a set of radio interviews we get a Chicago centric view of working class life in America. Mr. Terkel, a working class liberal, is a more than competent intviewer and had quite an interesting life. ( ) This book records interviews with over 70 Chicago residents, during the 1960's. It relates views on War, Religion, Cultural issues, education, work and family. As a non-American reading this book 50 years later it is obvious how much things have changed. It also is evident how much has stayed the same. An enjoyable, although sometimes worrying read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Division Street is the book that first made Studs Terkel's reputation as America's foremost oral historian, as "one of those rare thinkers who is actually willing to go out and talk to the incredible people of this country". Viewing the inhabitants of a single city, Chicago, as a microcosm of the nation at large, Terkel chronicles the thoughts and feelings of some seventy people from widely varying backgrounds in terms of class, race, and personal history. From a mother and son who migrated from Appalachia to a Native American boilerman, from a streetwise ex-gang leader to a liberal police officer, from the poorest African Americans to the richest socialites, these unique accounts form a multifaceted collage that defies any simple stereotype of America.
