"Using ethnographic interviews, an affiliation scale, and observational data from two soup kitchens, Road Dogs and Loners investigates the various family types that homeless men rely on for support. Timothy D. Pippert specifically compares homeless men who typically partnered up with those who were self-described loners. The groups are compared here in terms of their contact and support with biological, created, fictive families. Interdisciplinary in nature, this work tackles themes that are relevant to the study of social class, stratification, economics, social problems, family sociology, social theory, and research methods. Road Dogs and Loners provides an updated and in-depth personal perspective on the lives and relationships of homeless men in America."--Jacket.
