Books by Elijah Anderson

This edition marks the 25th anniversary of Elijah Anderson's classic study of street life among a gang of people congregating around a bar called "Jelly's" on Chicago's South Side.

A portrait of city life which explores the dilemma of both blacks and whites, the underclass and the middle class, caught up in the new struggle not only for common ground--prime real estate in a racially changing neighborhood--but for shared moral community.
