American Project: The Rise and Fall of a Modern Ghetto by Sudhir Venkatesh
Requirements: .ePUB, PDF Reader, 1.77 MB
Overview: High-rise public housing developments were signature features of the post World War II city. A hopeful experiment in providing temporary, inexpensive housing for all Americans, the “projects” soon became synonymous with the black urban poor, with isolation and overcrowding, with drugs, gang violence, and neglect. As the wrecking ball brings down some of these concrete monoliths, Sudhir Venkatesh seeks to reexamine public housing from the inside out, and to salvage its troubled legacy. Based on nearly a decade of fieldwork in Chicago’s Robert Taylor Homes, “American Project” is the first comprehensive story of daily life in an American public housing complex.
