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.

翻譯太差
評分一個數學背景的社會學傢運用芝加哥流派傳統的田野研究對黑幫組織、毒品交易、地下經濟和黑人底層社會等問題進行瞭有血有肉的描述。而對我影響最大的,卻是他作為一個學者對於社會學研究方法和理論意義的反思。
評分昨晚終於把最後兩章翻完瞭。這是一個最初拿著Likert量錶問捲去問黑老大你幸福嗎的社會學博士生,最終走上田野調查不歸路的故事。喜聞樂見。
評分恩------ researching society and culture 課程的core reading個案-----
評分"A drug economy, he told me, was ‘useful for the community,’since it redistributed the drug addicts’ money back into the community via the gang’s philanthropy."一笑。在《火綫》裏就感覺販毒也隻是(百無聊賴的)生活方式之一罷瞭。
几个小时的阅读,仿佛看完一场漫长的地下电影,每个人都如此鲜活,跟前几天看的韩国电影《黄海》如出一辙。 《黄海》很压力,压抑的氛围,压抑的色调,悲剧的故事结尾,太过于沉重。 阅读《城中城》的时候不自觉代入了那个“多一分好奇少一分恐惧”的作者的角色,虽然尽量想保...
評分 評分昨天在《南方都市报》上看到一文章,说《打死也不看译本》,因为看完这本书所以特别有共鸣! 这本书本身是在兰小欢的《一转念》里面看到,对书中这个教授充满敬佩,而且自己对黑人文化也比较感兴趣,很快就买了这本书。内容基本上忠于原著。但是翻译的真的是清汤寡水。没有汉语...
