Very well written and performed

This book does a great job of weaving story through educational and historical informafion. The narrator is one of the best.

Fascinating story with difficult chronology

The research, writing, and story all are fantastic. As an audiobook, it jumps around chronologically and across storylines frequently/without a clear delineation. Made the story harder to follow, but still definitely worth the listen.

Overtly melodramatic, but necessarily so.

Can't really articulate the situation of these populations using rational academic language. Reading something like this is the only way to "get it", and decipher the motivations and mind sets of the disadvantaged African American population.

Very informative

I didn't know that much about Cabrini Green and the other housing projects that were demolished. Now I know now where there is so many vacant lots where most of the public housing building once stood

Wow!!!!

I have learned so much from this book. I am from Chicago and I thought I was pretty knowledgeable about the projects here, but wow!!!! It was like it’s own society and how unfair they were treated in the end.
