"Sidewalk" is a book written in 1999 by Mitchell Dunier, a professor of American sociology at Princeton University. The book received a lot of praise and received the Los Angeles Times Book Award and the C. Wright Mills Award. Likewise, this book became a classical urban study, especially because of the interesting methodology Duneier used in his study. This book is based on observation, participation in observation, and interviews, and writers can interact and interact with the sellers of books and magazines everyday.

Many people generally believe that everyone can choose to live on the sidewalk. This is a misunderstanding as many people have the power to give up on their lives. Duneier said, "When you choose to work on the street, you definitely made radical decisions to show the irrationality of their choice, if not completely impossible" ( p.23). However, through the eyes of the stalls, the choice of this lifestyle is chosen by the individual even though it is considered irrational.
In addition, they believe that another reason to get rid of the formal economy is that they feel unacceptable in the present society.
