For decades now, scholars and politicians alike have argued that the concentration of poverty in city housing projects would produce distrust, alienation, apathy, and social isolation - the disappearance of what sociologists call social capital. But relatively few have examined precisely how such poverty affects social capital or have considered for what reasons living in a poor neighborhood results in such undesirable effects. This book examines a neglected Puerto Rican enclave in Boston to consider the pros and cons of social scientific thinking about the true nature of ghettos in America. Mario Luis Small dismantles the theory that poor urban neighborhoods are inevitably deprived of social capital. He shows that the conditions specified in this theory are vaguely defined and variable among poor communities. According to Small, structural conditions such as unemployment or a failed system of familial relations must be acknowledged as affecting the urban poor, but individual motivations and the importance of timing must be considered as well. Brimming with fresh theoretical insights, Villa Victoria is an elegant work of sociology that will be essential to students of urban poverty.

评分波士頓的新街角社會，不同之處在於作者要研究的隻是社會資本。與獨自打保齡的悲觀相反，作者認為在Villa這個社會空間，貧窮並沒有讓社會資本衰落。至於社會資本是什麼，它是隻可意會的視角，解釋瞭到不明白瞭（宏大就是好），作者沒有囉嗦於社會資本的理論梳理。連續看瞭幾本相似的社會學研究：規範，研究問題清晰，調查紮實（數據不是輕鬆得來的），可是，那又怎樣呢？總感覺輕飄飄的。決定換個極端，讀讀法國社會學傢的宏大社會理論及其反思。
