First introduced in Freakonomics , here is the full story of Sudhir Venkatesh, the sociology grad student who infiltrated one of Chicago's most notorious gangs
The story of the young sociologist who studied a Chicago crack-dealing gang from the inside captured the world's attention when it was first described in Freakonomics . Gang Leader for a Day is the fascinating full story of how Sudhir Venkatesh managed to gain entrŽe into the gang, what he learned, and how his method revolutionized the academic establishment.
When Venkatesh walked into an abandoned building in one of Chicago's most notorious housing projects, he was looking for people to take a multiple-choice survey on urban poverty. A first-year grad student hoping to impress his professors with his boldness, he never imagined that as a result of the assignment he would befriend a gang leader named JT and spend the better part of a decade inside the projects under JT's protection, documenting what he saw there.
Over the next seven years, Venkatesh got to know the neighborhood dealers, crackheads, squatters, prostitutes, pimps, activists, cops, organizers, and officials. From his privileged position of unprecedented access, he observed JT and the rest of the gang as they operated their crack-selling business, conducted PR within their community, and rose up or fell within the ranks of the gang's complex organizational structure.
In Hollywood-speak, Gang Leader for a Day is The Wire meets Harvard University. It's a brazen, page turning, and fundamentally honest view into the morally ambiguous, highly intricate, often corrupt struggle to survive in what is tantamount to an urban war zone. It is also the story of a complicated friendship between Sudhir and JT-two young and ambitious men a universe apart.
“我们住在城中城,他们有他们的世界,我们有我们的。如果你能明白,这一点永远不会改变,你就会理解这个城市是如何运作的。”——《城中城》,上海人民出版社:2009,p10 当我翻开这本书的时候,脑袋里一直都在想大二时上的一门课——“社区概论”。其实这是我大学里挺后悔的...
評分 評分《黑帮老大的一天》中最精彩的部分反而是贝利女士的玲珑手腕。然而,贝利也好,JT也好,他们之于这个贫民社区(这其中有太多意涵)是大佬,是救世主,剥削者……,之所以有如此多的矛盾之处,恰恰展现出现实世界的吊诡。 其中,有反馈环路(正反馈环路和负反馈环路)的不断整合...
評分 評分恩------ researching society and culture 課程的core reading個案-----
评分寫的太羅嗦瞭。太emotional瞭...
评分作者情感介入較深的質性研究。沒想到此書齣版還和斯蒂芬·裏維特有點關係。
评分the story itself is amazing for sure. But what earn it the fifth star is the nostalgia and emotional link at the end. I don't know if that's good for research, but I am more than moved by these
评分八十年代的芝加哥南區福利房社區中的社會結構。前麵寫得穩,結尾有點虛。再有就是沒能完全掩蓋住condescending的口氣。
