Reviews for In Harm´s Way: The Dynamics of Urban Violence
Winners of the 2016 Robert E. Park Award, Community and Urban Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association "An important ethnography that, with a focus on social relations and not on individuals, meaningfully advances our understandings of violence and the lives of impoverished dwellers. As with good books, this one also inspires reflection and questions, perhaps for future research."
