The unlikeliest gangbanger
A Grateful Dead-loving sociology student wormed his way into a Chicago gang -- and then stuck around to write a compelling portrait of life in the projects.

  • A mirror image

    Nice review. Things have certainly changed since the Black Panthers I grew up with. I just finished a related book from the West Coast (L.A.), female/child angle. It is called "Love and Consequences" by Margaret Jones and was reviewed in the N.Y. Times yesterday. Both books leave me wondering,can we find a way to give every child equal, or at least reasonable, opportunities to succeed in this country?
