Off the Books: The Underground Economy of the Urban Poor
Sudhir Alladi Venkatesh
Venkatesh takes us into Maquis Park, a poor black neighborhood on Chicago’s Southside, to explore the desperate and remarkable ways in which a community survives. The result is a dramatic narrative of individuals at work, a rich portrait of a community, and a devastating critique of the entrenched poverty that we so often ignore in America.
