Dubbed as `You Are What You Hang (or Don`t)` by the New York Times,Inside Culture takes us on a tour of 160 homes in and around New York City, from affluent townhouses on Manhattan`s Upper East Side and rowhouses in blue-collar Brooklyn to middle and upper-class suburbs of Long Island. The result is an unprecedented portrait of the use of cultural artifacts—fine art, photographs, religious art—in private lives.

`This is a first-class addition to what we know about culture in the specific rather than the abstract.`—Howard S. Becker, Contemporary Sociology

`This book is well worth reading, especially in your own home.`—Eugene Halton, American Journal of Sociology

`David Halle`s researches earned him a license amateur voyeurs would kill for. . . . Refreshing for readers outside his discipline.`—Peter Campbell, London Review of Books

`[This book] tells us interesting things about ourselves. . . . It affords us a birds-eye view of American culture from which we can see . . . unsuspected patterns of tastes and acquisitions.`—James Gardner, Washington Times

`[A] voyeuristic thrill. . . . Lucid and entertaining. . . . A fascinating book that will open the eyes of anyone who`s ever glibly said about art, `I know what I like.` After reading Inside Culture, they`ll also know a little bit more about why.`—Maureen Corrigan, New York Observer
