Description

This study investigates the social world of buskers in Manhattan through data from eleven interviews and participant observation. It describes the ways in which buskers, audience members, and law enforcement work together and undermine one another in the creation of street music. Finally, it draws connections between buskers’ performed and underlying selves through the lens of sociological conceptions of authenticity.
