Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 0465031927. Light wear; Dust Jacket light edgewear, light rub, light wear. Crisp hardcover.; Classic, pessimistic anthropological study. "What does it mean to live in a ghetto? Many experts would respond with statistics-about income, infant mortality, crime rates and the like. Not Arthur Hippler, an anthropologist who lived and worked in Hunter's Point, an isolated black ghetto at the south-eastern edge of San Francisco. He talked, listened, and learned to know the people there. His book goes far beyond statistics to examine the black community as a whole, with all the complex, interweaving patterns that shape human relationships-those within the ghetto, as well as those between the residents and the white society outside."
