Renegade Dreams by Laurence Ralph
Walking the streets of one of Chicago's most violent neighborhoods - where the local gang has been active for more than fifty years the author talks with people whose lives are irrecoverably damaged, seeking to understand how they cope and how they can be helped.
"Renegade Dreams is a tour de force-extremely well written and engaging, and replete with original insightsOnce I began reading Ralph's book I had a difficult time putting it down. His field research is fascinating. And his explicit discussion of the interconnections of inner-city injury with government and community institutions, as well as how it is related to historical and social processes, is a major contribution." (William Julius Wilson, author of The Truly Disadvantaged)"
Laurence Ralph is assistant professor in the Departments of Anthropology and African and African American Studies at Harvard University.
