Fleisher. 264 1 $a Madison, Wisconsin : $b The University of Wisconsin Press, $c [2015] 300 $a x, 161 pages ; $c 23 cm 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 155-161). 520 $a "Living black" breaks the stereotype of poor African American neighborhoods as dysfunctional ghettos of helpless and hopeless people. Despite real and enduring poverty, the community described here -- the historic North End of Champaign, Illinois -- has a vibrant social life and strong ties among generations. But it operates on its own nonjudgmental terms -- teen moms aren't derided, school dropouts aren't ridiculed, and parolees and ex-cons aren't scorned. Mark Fleisher offers a window into daily life in this neighborhood, particularly through the stories of Mo and Memphis Washington, who fight to sustain a stable home for their children, and of Burpee, a local man who has returned to the North End to rebuild his life after years of crime and punishment in Chicago. ---From back cover. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Champaign $z Champaign $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Ex-convicts $z Champaign $z Champaign $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Gang members $z Champaign $z Champaign $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Ex-gang members $z Champaign $z Champaign $x Social conditions. 941 $a 4 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092317.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214022140.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180403032148.0 952 $l PRAX771 $d 20151202011617.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7FE6E03098C211E5B5097593DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b IODInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
