With the original 1987 publication of Ain't No Makin' It, Jay MacLeod brought us to the Clarendon Heights housing project where we met the 'Brothers' and the 'Hallway Hangers'. Their story of poverty, race, and defeatism moved readers and challenged ethnic stereotypes. MacLeod's return eight years later, and the resulting 1995 revision, revealed little improvement in the lives of these men as they struggled in the labor market and crime-ridden underground economy. The third edition of this classic ethnography of social reproduction brings the story of inequality and social mobility into today's dialogue. Now fully updated with thirteen new interviews from the original Hallway Hangers and Brothers, as well as new theoretical analysis and comparison to the original conclusions, Ain't No Makin' It remains an admired and invaluable text.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49606981779729,"sku":"GOR005148935","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49607532249361,"sku":"GOR013619434","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49882538443025,"sku":"CIN0813343585G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":50149014143249,"sku":"CIN0813343585LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50177836024081,"sku":"CIN0813343585A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50763174674705,"sku":"CIN0813343585VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50930126815505,"sku":"GOR004783855","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813343585.jpg?v=1751448940"},{"product_id":"ain-t-no-makin-it-book-jay-macleod-9780813315157","title":"Ain't No Makin' It","description":"I aint goin to college.  Who wants to go to college? Id just end up gettin a shitty job anyway.  So said Freddie Piniella, an eleven-year-old boy from Clarendon Heights low-income housing project, to Jay MacLeod, his counselor in a youth program.  MacLeod was struck by the seeming self-defeatism of Freddie and his friends.  How is it that in America, a nation of dreams and opportunities, a boy of eleven can feel trapped in a position of inherited poverty?The author immersed himself in the teenage underworld of Clarendon Heights.  The Hallway Hangers, one of the neighborhood cliques, appear as cynical self-destructive hoodlums.  The other group, the Brothers, take the American Dream to heart and aspire to middle-class respectability.  The twist is that the Hallway Hangers are mostly white; the Brothers are almost all black.  Comparing the two groups, MacLeod provides a provocative account of how poverty is perpetuated from one generation to the next. Part One tells the story of the boys teenage aspirations.  Part Two follows the Hallway Hangers and the Brothers into adulthood. Eight years later the author returns to Clarendon Heights to find the members of both gangs struggling in the labor market or on the streets.  Caught in the web of urban industrial decline, the Hallway Hangersundereducated, unemployed, or imprisonedhave turned to the underground economy.  But cocaine capitalism only fuels their desperation, and the Hallway Hangers seek solace in sexism and racism.  The ambitious Brothers have fared little better.  Their teenage dreams in tatters, the Brothers demonstrate that racism takes its toll on optimistic aspirations. This edition retains the vivid accounts of friendships, families, school, and work that made the first edition so popular.  The ethnography resonates with feeling and vivid dialogue.  But the book also addresses one of the most important issues in modern social theory and policy: how social inequality is reproduced from one generation to the next.  MacLeod links individual lives with social theory to forge a powerful argument about how inequality is created, sustained, and accepted in the United States.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49650479169809,"sku":"GOR001907007","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49660944515345,"sku":"GOR003833408","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50361935364369,"sku":"CIN0813315158G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":51480905613585,"sku":"CIN0813315158A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813315158.jpg?v=1751138892"},{"product_id":"ain-t-no-makin-it-book-jay-macleod-9780813371634","title":"Ain't No Makin' It","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen Being Good Isn't Good Enough is good news for exhausted, discouraged, and frustrated Christians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow to stop striving to please a God who is already pleased. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow grace ensures we are free. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e*Free from rules that bind \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Free from the manipulation of other Christians \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Free from slavery to religion \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e* Free from fitting into the world's mold \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve writes, The older I get the more I realize that Jesus really did come to 'set the prisoners free.'
