Friends get murdered; the DEA and FBI investigate Boy George; Cesar becomes a fugitive; Jessica and Coco endure homelessness, betrayal, the heartbreaking separation of prison, and, throughout it all, the insidious damage of poverty.Charting the tumultuous cycle of the generations--as girls become mothers, boys become criminals, and hope struggles against deprivation--LeBlanc slips behind the cold statistics and sensationalism and comes back with a riveting, haunting, and true story.

Race, Class, and the Postindustrial City thoroughly explores the scholarship of William Julius Wilson, one of the nation's leading sociologists and public intellectuals, and the controversies surrounding his work. In addressing the connection between postindustrial cities and changing race relations, the author, who is not related to William Julius Wilson, shows how Wilson has synthesized competing theories of race relations, urban sociology, and public policy into a refocused liberal analysis of postindustrial America. Combining intellectual biography, the sociology of knowledge, and theoretical analyses of sociological debates relevant to African Americans, this book provides both appraisal and critique, ultimately assessing Wilson's contribution to the sociological canon.

Fruit d'un travail de terrain de longue haleine avec des familles de milieu populaire touchées par les conduites à risque (addictions, violences, micro-trafics, tentatives de suicide, automutilation, anorexie/boulimie...), l'ouvrage livre leur vécu intime et collectif. L'auteur a cherché à recomposer leurs réalités quotidiennes, leurs parcours et le sens des gestuelles de risques qui traversent les foyers. Par immersion douce, le lecteur entre dans les univers domestiques, la rue, les écoles et l'épaisseur transgénérationnelle des sagas familiales. Les récits de parents, fratries et proches se croisent sur des désordres familiaux, socio-économiques, scolaires et judiciaires. Ils décrivent l'espace social décalé qu'offre aux jeunes l'économie parallèle très implantée dans leur environnement. Les tensions et les mises en danger de la jeunesse sont souvent des comportements d'adaptation au fonctionnement de leurs lieux de socialisation. Sous la pression des crises qu'elles vivent, des familles se débrouillent, sortent du mutisme et de l'isolement. Elles trouvent des ressources dans leur environnement et font preuve d'ingéniosité pour faire face à leur condition. Elles explorent les appuis qu'elles ont trouvés dans le réseau social et les dispositifs d'aide pour faire évoluer leurs modes de vie et leurs relations familiales. À partir de leurs expériences, elles ont réfléchi à la prévention et aux modes d'intervention adaptés. Adapté à un large public qui souhaiterait mieux comprendre les parcours de risques de la jeunesse et le vécu des familles éprouvées, cet ouvrage intéressera tout particulièrement les professionnels et les étudiants des secteurs psycho-médico-sociaux, socio-anthropologiques, éducatifs et judiciaires.
