Gang Leader for a Day- Current Affairs


Fantastic book! I first learned about Sudhir Venkatesh in Freakonomics so when I saw his book I had to read it. The book didn't disappoint. It chronicles his friendships and research from hanging out with a gang for almost ten years and what life was like in Chicago's Robert Taylor Projects. Eye opening, this is a very intense look at urban poverty and what it means to be poor and voiceless.
