No Shame in My Game: the Working Poor in the Inner City by Katherine S. Newman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I read this book on my initiative. Judging from the cover, I thought it would be more recent. Still, this glance into the economics of inner-city NYC during the Clinton administration proved fascinating for me. I was a little girl during that time and I recall it as prosperous. Quite sobering now that I know scores of people were suffering mightily. It disappointed me that the author lost touch with Jamal.


It would be glorious if this book received an update.
