Theory meets reality.,

This review is from: When Culture Goes to Market (Hardcover)
Shepherd grounds socio-economic theory in the real-life experience of DC's Eastern Market, and particularly its diverse array of vendors, pricking the sentimental myths about the venerable space fearlessly. The human narratives more than redeem the adademic jargon requisite in a scholarly study. Regular readers will find provocative insight here, not just anthropologists. Shepherd is especially valuable in summing up the "Thirty Years War" rival community forces waged to impose their own versions of "saving" the long-neglected 1873 market house. This is a stimulating, accessible study capturing the complexity of this market space.
