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.

譯者簡介
孫飛宇,北京大學社會學係副教授,主要研究方嚮為社會學理論。
八十年代的芝加哥南區福利房社區中的社會結構。前麵寫得穩,結尾有點虛。再有就是沒能完全掩蓋住condescending的口氣。
評分看到亞馬遜上好多人吐槽Sudhir作為sociologist其實好多方麵不專業但是我覺得這個大概不能完全算作research吧不能帶著在看thesis/dissertation的心態看。不管怎麼說和South Side Chicago的gang leader混在一起go native瞭六年多多少少會和隻做問捲和數據的研究不同啊。
評分the story itself is amazing for sure. But what earn it the fifth star is the nostalgia and emotional link at the end. I don't know if that's good for research, but I am more than moved by these

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...
評分一个上升管道严重梗阻的社会不仅让人绝望,还会孕育强烈的社会仇恨与社会对立。 这种社会对立源于社会结构性紧张,简称为社会紧张。该词源于紧张理论(Strain Theory),又称文化失范理论(Anomie Theory),由美国社会学家、犯罪学家罗伯特·金·莫顿(Robert K. Merton)于19...
