This is the full story of how Venkatesh managed to gain entrée into the gang, what he learned, and how his method revolutionized the academic establishment. When first-year grad student Venkatesh walked into one of Chicago's most notorious housing projects, he was looking for people to take a survey on urban poverty. He never imagined that he would befriend a gang leader and spend the better part of a decade inside the projects under his protection. He got to know the neighborhood dealers, crackheads, squatters, prostitutes, pimps, activists, cops, organizers, and officials. From his position of unprecedented access, he observed the gang as they operated their crack-selling business and rose or fell within the ranks of the gang's complex organizational structure.--From publisher description. aSocial problems and social services aCriminology aUrban poor -- Research -- Illinois -- Chicago. aGangs -- Illinois -- Chicago. aAfrican Americans -- Illinois -- Chicago. aPauvres en milieu urbain -- Recherche -- Illinois -- Chicago. aNoirs américains -- Illinois -- Chicago. aSociology students. a Venkatesh, Sudhir
