This is the full story of how Venkatesh managed to gain entreÌe into the gang, what he learned, and how his method revolutionized the academic establishment. When first-year grad student Venkatesh walked into one of Chicago's most notorious housing projects, he was looking for people to take a survey on urban poverty. He never imagined that he would befriend a gang leader and spend the better part of a decade inside the projects under his protection. He got to know the neighborhood dealers, crackheads, squatters, prostitutes, pimps, activists, cops, organizers, and officials. From his position of unprecedented access, he observed the gang as they operated their crack-selling business and rose or fell within the ranks of the gang's complex organizational structure.--From publisher description. 600 10 $a Venkatesh, Sudhir Alladi. 600 17 $a Venkatesh, Sudhir Alladi. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01545745 610 27 $a Chicago $g Ill. $2 gnd 650 0 $a Sociology students $z Chicago $z Chicago $v Biography. 650 0 $a Urban poor $x Research $z Chicago. $z Chicago. 650 0 $a Gangs $z Chicago. $z Chicago. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Chicago. $z Chicago. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a Gangs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00937695 650 7 $a Social conditions $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 $a Sociology students. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123938 650 7 $a Urban poor $x Research. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01162532 651 7 $a Illinois $z Chicago. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204048 650 7 $a Bande $2 gnd 650 7 $a DrogenkriminalitaÌt $2 gnd 650 7 $a Schwarze $2 gnd 650 7 $a Soziale Situation $2 gnd 650 7 $a Armut $2 gnd 650 7 $a UrbanitaÌt $2 gnd 651 7 $a Chicago $x sociala foÌrhaÌllanden. $2 sao 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 941 $a 1 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508015154.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9697815090F111EA86A69E4897128E48 994 $a 92 $b UINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
