Perilous Wagers : Gambling, Dignity, and Day Laborers in Twenty-First-Century Tokyo

This book depicts the lives of active construction workers in Tokyo's vanishing day-laborer district, San'ya. It asks how one group of men secured sociality and dignity under abject conditions of life, and it shows how they created accountability, dignity, and sociality through the recognition of their peers.--
