Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James Walker, who goes by the name J-Money, was born on the West Side of Chicago, Illinois. He later moved to Chicago’s west suburb, Maywood, Illinois, as a juvenile. Maywood is where he began his string of robberies. He and his gang committed robberies from Maywood to the West Side of Chicago for years. J-Money was arrested for robbery several times as a juvenile and as an adult. After doing time in the penitentiary, he came home a young man. He needed his own money, which led him to getting it the only way he knew how—robbing with his gang. The war also was still on with their rival street. A few of J-Money’s gang members find themselves locked up also. Though J-Money is street, he, too, is a ladies magnet. J-Money is having more sex than a little, which is why at nineteen, he got Lala pregnant a month after he came home from prison. This was also the same age he met a woman whom he fell in love with at first sight. Yvette is twenty-seven and married with five children. Yvette is a neighbor-turned-friend of J-Money’s auntie, Leana. Yvette and her husband, Dub, are on the verge of divorce after repeatedly trying to make it work for, at least, their kids’ sake. J-Money has never been in or believed in love nor has he ever been in a serious relationship. Yvette’s marriage is on the rocks. She has to make a decision not only for her, but her kids too. These are people who are a product of their environment, which is the ghetto. Police brutality, gang violence, poverty, struggle, and risk. J-Money has a flock of girls and is addicted to the street life. Will he leave all the girls alone for his first love or is it just puppy love? Which will he choose, the streets or love? Yvette is married with children and has just inherited a big lump sum of money. Will she leave her husband and find new love? Or will she settle because she wants her kids to have a normal household with mom and dad? Read the book, and you’ll find out because I’m not telling you!

Book Synopsis Ghetto by : Mitchell Duneier

Download or read book Ghetto written by Mitchell Duneier and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book of 2016 Winner of the Zócalo Public Square Book Prize On March 29, 1516, the city council of Venice issued a decree forcing Jews to live in il geto—a closed quarter named for the copper foundry that once occupied the area. The term stuck. In this sweeping and original account, Mitchell Duneier traces the idea of the ghetto from its beginnings in the sixteenth century and its revival by the Nazis to the present. As Duneier shows, we cannot comprehend the entanglements of race, poverty, and place in America today without recalling the ghettos of Europe, as well as earlier efforts to understand the problems of the American city. Ghetto is the story of the scholars and activists who tried to achieve that understanding. As Duneier shows, their efforts to wrestle with race and poverty cannot be divorced from their individual biographies, which often included direct encounters with prejudice and discrimination in the academy and elsewhere. Using new and forgotten sources, Duneier introduces us to Horace Cayton and St. Clair Drake, graduate students whose conception of the South Side of Chicago established a new paradigm for thinking about Northern racism and poverty in the 1940s. We learn how the psychologist Kenneth Clark subsequently linked Harlem’s slum conditions with the persistence of black powerlessness, and we follow the controversy over Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s report on the black family. We see how the sociologist William Julius Wilson redefined the debate about urban America as middle-class African Americans increasingly escaped the ghetto and the country retreated from racially specific remedies. And we trace the education reformer Geoffrey Canada’s efforts to transform the lives of inner-city children with ambitious interventions, even as other reformers sought to help families escape their neighborhoods altogether. Duneier offers a clear-eyed assessment of the thinkers and doers who have shaped American ideas about urban poverty—and the ghetto. The result is a valuable new estimation of an age-old concept.

Strains of Chopin floating down the tenement airshaft are transformed into a mysterious anthem of loss.

Book excerpt: A lyrical, intelligent, authentic and necessary look at the intersection of race and class in Chicago, a Great American City.Mayors Richard M. Daley and Rahm Emanuel have touted Chicago as a "world-class city." The skyscrapers kissing the clouds, the billion-dollar Millennium Park, Michelin-rated restaurants, pristine lake views, fabulous shopping, vibrant theater scene, downtown flower beds and stellar architecture tell one story. Yet swept under the rug is another story: the stench of segregation that permeates and compromises Chicago. Though other cities - including Cleveland, Los Angeles, and Baltimore - can fight over that mantle, it's clear that segregation defines Chicago. And unlike many other major U.S. cities, no particular race dominates; Chicago is divided equally into black, white and Latino, each group clustered in its various turfs.In this intelligent and highly important narrative, Chicago native Natalie Moore shines a light on contemporary segregation in the city's South Side; her reported essays showcase the lives of these communities through the stories of her family and the people who reside there. The South Side highlights the impact of Chicago's historic segregation - and the ongoing policies that keep the system intact.

After Dez is arrested, Karter is stuck on the outside trying to hold it all together, not only for herself, but for her unborn child as well. When it feels like the universe is working against her, can Karter keep her head above water? Or, will her constant stress and worrying cost her and Dez the one thing they both so desire, a child? Dez's first priority is always to protect his family, even when he's not in the best position to do so. But, with a detective on his back with an ax to grind, can Dez stay a free man? Or, will he have to get his hands dirty one last time to show why he was the king to begin with? "You'll never make it anywhere in life without a degree." The words her father said to her still rang strong in Melodee's ears, even eight years later. Setting out to prove her parents wrong, Melodee focuses on doing what she has to do to secure her future. But, will she allow Dame to step in help, or will her 'I can do it myself' attitude run him away? In this final installment, this crew is struggling to keep the family together. But, one thing about the Wright brothers, they always have some tricks up their sleeves, and for the women they love, they'll paint the town red. Find out why Karter and Melodee are still in love with the King of Chicago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A GHETTO LOVE STORY Just because a person is a crack smoker doesn't mean they have to be treated like "Pookie" from New Jack City. With that fact in mind, A Ghetto Love Story makes sure that OG Black responds to the slightest hint of disrespect with extreme violence. By living this way he manages to maintain a comfortable existence on the streets of Seattle as a small time drug hustler. That is until his 18-year-old daughter (who has been in foster care since she was a child) forces herself into his life with some questions that need to be answered. A Ghetto Love Story is the story of what happens when a young girl raised up in the suburbs gets rudely introduced to the darker side of existence. Not only does Tia go looking for her father at the wrong time (in the middle of a bloody street war), but she also winds up becoming emotionally attached to a young gang leader in a way that will without doubt change her life forever. This book should not be confused with other current Urban/Street Lit books on the market. A Ghetto Love Story is intended to be a very realistic look into the pain and misery of the African-American street culture. Although the story line contains hard language and extreme violence-which is simply part and parcel of street life-it likewise contains an underlying message of love and hope.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Chicago Tribune‘s 2013 Heartland Prize A critically acclaimed history of Chicago at mid-century, featuring many of the incredible personalities that shaped American culture Before air travel overtook trains, nearly every coast-to-coast journey included a stop in Chicago, and this flow of people and commodities made it the crucible for American culture and innovation. In luminous prose, Chicago native Thomas Dyja re-creates the story of the city in its postwar prime and explains its profound impact on modern America—from Chess Records to Playboy, McDonald’s to the University of Chicago. Populated with an incredible cast of characters, including Mahalia Jackson, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Chuck Berry, Sun Ra, Simone de Beauvoir, Nelson Algren, Gwendolyn Brooks, Studs Turkel, and Mayor Richard J. Daley, The Third Coast recalls the prominence of the Windy City in all its grandeur.

Book excerpt: As the queen of the Gangstress, Star’s entire life has suddenly changed. She’s swapped out her impoverished lifestyle for one filled with luxury and prestige. However, it also came with the constant threat of violence. Life with Polo is like living with a ticking time bomb, and it doesn’t take her long to realize that she’s caught up in a situation that may kill her if she doesn’t find a way out in time. When she finds real love with the unlikeliest person, she is hopeful that her luck will change. Unfortunately, that’s not at all the case. Kato awakes from his coma and Polo is eager to find out the details of what exactly happened the night that his brother was killed. Being able to claim Star was the trophy he was seeking, but the nagging in his mind about what really happened to Mink just won’t go away. When he forces Star to assist Kato in gaining back his memory, he unknowingly lays the foundation for an unforeseen romance that just may be the end of them all. Now awake, Kato’s struggle to fully recover from the injury that nearly claimed his life becomes the least of his worries. Once he receives news from a reliable source that the Disciples have a betrayer in the midst, he wants nothing more than to get to the bottom of it and take out revenge on the person whose loyalty is in question. After finding out that it may be his own best friend, Polo, behind it all, he finds himself on the brink of initiating an all-out war in the streets. To make matters worse, his growing feelings for Star only further complicate the situation when he suspects that she’s being abused. Will his budding love affair with Star be the one thing capable of bringing the entire Disciple organization down?
