For over fifty years numerous public intellectuals and social theorists have insisted that community is dead. Some would have us believe that we act solely as individuals choosing our own fates regardless of our surroundings, while other theories place us at the mercy of global forces beyond our control. These two perspectives dominate contemporary views of society, but by rejecting the importance of place they are both deeply flawed. Based on one of the most ambitious studies in the history of social science, "Great American City" argues that communities still matter because life is decisively shaped by where you live. To demonstrate the powerfully enduring impact of place, Robert J. Sampson presents here the fruits of over a decade's research in Chicago combined with his own unique personal observations about life in the city, from Cabrini Green to Trump Tower, and Millennium Park to the Robert Taylor Homes. He discovers that neighborhoods influence a remarkably wide variety of social phenomena, including crime, health, civic engagement, home foreclosures, teen births, altruism, leadership networks, and immigration. Even national crises cannot weaken the power of place, Sampson finds, as he analyzes the consequences of the Great Recession and its aftermath, bringing his magisterial study up to the fall of 2010. Following in the influential tradition of the Chicago School of urban studies but updated for the twenty-first century, "Great American City" is at once a landmark research project, a commanding argument for a new theory of social life, and the story of an iconic city.
……这书真难读。可能原因是我对城社实在无感
评分关于neighborhood effects比较新的书。1,neighborhood effects不是伪命题:全球化并没有消灭空间上的不平等,在一些地方反而加强之;贫困在空间上的聚集是贫困的复制机制之一;针对individual selection bias的批评,作者认为个人选择也是neighborhood effects的一部分。2,试图将个人选择、neighborhood以及更大的结构性因素统合在同一个分析框架下。3,shared expectations on social control 和trust是社区层面neighborhood effects不断复制的机制,可以通过社区民间组织改善。4,批评了贫困研究的“个人化”倾向,穷人的应对机制并非无穷无尽,而是受结构制约的。
