Listen to a short interview with Sudhir VenkateshHost: Chris Gondek - Producer: Heron & Crane In this revelatory book, Sudhir Venkatesh takes us into Maquis Park, a poor black neighborhood on Chicago's Southside, to explore the desperate, dangerous, and remarkable ways in which a community survives. We find there an entire world of unregulated, unreported, and untaxed work, a system of living off the books that is daily life in the ghetto. From women who clean houses and prepare lunches for the local hospital to small-scale entrepreneurs like the mechanic who works in an alley; from...

American Project: The Rise and Fall of a Modern Ghetto (Revised)
ISBN: 9780674008304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) High-rise public housing developments were signature features of the post-World War II city. A hopeful experiment in providing temporary, inexpensive housing for all Americans, the "projects" soon became synonymous with the black urban poor, with isolation and overcrowding, with drugs, gang violence, and neglect. As the wrecking ball brings down some of these concrete monoliths, Sudhir Venkatesh seeks to reexamine public housing from the inside out, and to salvage its troubled legacy. Based on nearly a decade of fieldwork in Chicago's Robert Taylor Homes, American Project is the... High-rise public housing developments were signature features of the post-World War II city.

Youth, Globalization, and the Law
ISBN: 9780804754743 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book addresses the impact of globalization on the lives of youth, focusing on the role of legal institutions and discourses. As practices and ideas travel the globe--such as the promotion and transmission of zero tolerance and retributive justice programs, the near ubiquitous acceptance of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the transnational migration of street gangs--the legal arena is being transformed. The essays in this book offer case studies and in-depth analyses, spanning diverse settings including courts and prisons, inner-city streets, international human rights...

Building Community Capacity
ISBN: 9780202306391 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book focuses on a gap in current social work practice theory: community change. Much work in this area of macro practice, particularly around -grassroots- community organizing, has a somewhat dated feel to it, is highly ideological in orientation, or suffers from superficiality, particularly in the area of theory and practical application. Set against the context of an often narrowly constructed -clinical- emphasis on practice education, coupled with social work's own current rendering of -scientific management, - community practice often takes second or third billing in many...

This book speaks to a lacuna in current social work practice theory: community change. Much work in this area of macro practice, particularly around "grassroots" community organizing, has a somewhat dated feel to it, is highly ideological in orientation, or-in the case of many "generalist" treatments of the topic-suffers from superfi ciality, particularly in the area of theory and practical application. Set against the context of an often narrowly constructed "clinical" emphasis on practice education, coupled with social work's own current rendering of "scientifi c management," community...
