The book explores the lives of homeless men, particularly those living in urban environments like Chicago, who have formed unique communities and behaviors in response to the societal structures around them. It aims to examine their conditions, challenges, and the intricate social systems they create, focusing on the phenomenon of "Hobohemia." The opening of the work introduces the subject matter and the motivations behind the investigation into homelessness within urban society. It discusses the historical context of the hobo as a social type that emerged from the migration and challenges faced by solitary men in a rapidly industrializing city. The text outlines the project's aim, detailing the environment in which these homeless men exist and acknowledging the complex interplay between personal choices and societal forces that contribute to their circumstances. Anderson's insights reveal a vibrant yet troubled community, emphasizing how social dynamics shape individual lives and the collective identity of the "hobo" class.
