Hustling and Other Hard Work: Life Styles in the Ghetto

Rating:
Summary: Great introduction to ethnography and community research
Review: WHile this book is almost 20 years old, it offers a refreshing look at community study. Today there are many ethnographic works which explore first hand various community settings. This book however presents a view that forces one to rethink many of the negative images presented of poor underdeveloped neighborhoods. This was one of the first books I read on ethnography and I am hooked!
