Summary: 5 Stars
Have you ever walked through a strange city neighborhood and have somebody ask you for the time? Have you wondered, "What's their game?"
Have you wondered why there is little civility or dignity left in our cities?
Have you wondered why some young people feel that they can just grab what they covet, and even shoot someone down without hardly a thought?
What is going on?
Why are these disturbing trends getting worse... especially now that the so-called '90s boom is over?
In Streetwise, Dr. Anderson maps out the problems besetting our cities in America--
and explains for all of us what the social, political, and economic exclusion of our poorest entails.
