Oscar Lewis Bücher
Oscar Lewis war ein amerikanischer Anthropologe, der für seine tiefgehenden Studien über das Leben in Armut, insbesondere in mexikanischen und puerto-ricanischen Gemeinschaften, bekannt wurde. Seine Arbeit zeichnet sich durch ein tiefes Interesse an den gelebten Erfahrungen von Einzelpersonen und Familien aus, die er durch detaillierte Feldforschung und mündliche Überlieferung festhielt. Lewis konzentrierte sich darauf, die Komplexität der Armutskultur zu verstehen und wie diese das tägliche Leben der Menschen prägt. Sein innovativer Ansatz in der Anthropologie beeinflusste Generationen von Forschern, und seine Schriften bleiben eine wichtige Ressource zum Verständnis sozialer und kultureller Phänomene.

A pioneering work from a visionary anthropologist, The Children of Sanchez is hailed around the world as a watershed achievement in the study of poverty—a uniquely intimate investigation, as poignant today as when it was first published. It is the epic story of the Sánchez family, told entirely by its members—Jesus, the 50-year-old patriarch, and his four adult children—as their lives unfold in the Mexico City slum they call home. Weaving together their extraordinary personal narratives, Oscar Lewis creates a sympathetic but ultimately tragic portrait that is at once harrowing and humane, mystifying and moving. An invaluable document, full of verve and pathos, The Children of Sanchez reads like the best of fiction, with the added impact that it is all, undeniably, true.
