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.

“我们住在城中城,他们有他们的世界,我们有我们的。如果你能明白,这一点永远不会改变,你就会理解这个城市是如何运作的。”——《城中城》,上海人民出版社:2009,p10 当我翻开这本书的时候,脑袋里一直都在想大二时上的一门课——“社区概论”。其实这是我大学里挺后悔的...

花了三天时间,除去上课的时间,我读完了这本英文书,不是小说,但是却比小说更精彩,因为是田野笔记,所以有一份真实在里面。 作者是芝大的博士生,漫步社区街头的时候,想着自己应该做些什么。可能是对帮会的好奇,甚至骨子里是不是想成为帮会的一员?他选择帮会作为自己的研...

反正也改不下去了,索性来吐个槽吧。。。 昨天晚上看这个本书的时候,开头几页的句子就让偶很激动了>_<。。。作者在Chicago Uni读书的时候,给教授当帮手,去黑人社区发调查问卷。当他走进一个大楼的时候,遇到了一写黑bang成员,和他们的老大JT。JT把他的调查问卷拿过去看了...

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...

如果没有zukerberg的书单可能不会想起看这本书。不过一见到是当年freakanomics里“芝加哥黑帮的经济制度有如商业公司”的消息来源(所谓rougue sociologist),顿时就知道我非看不可了。非常精彩,现实比小说更小说。

Fascinating peek into south side Chicago housing projects.

看到亚马逊上好多人吐槽Sudhir作为sociologist其实好多方面不专业但是我觉得这个大概不能完全算作research吧不能带着在看thesis/dissertation的心态看。不管怎么说和South Side Chicago的gang leader混在一起go native了六年多多少少会和只做问卷和数据的研究不同啊。
