Acerca de esta escucha

This New York Public Library selection, as one of the 150 most important books of the 20th century, is a true-life portrait of growing up in the Chicago projects.

This national best-seller chronicles the true story of two brothers coming of age in the Henry Horner public housing complex in Chicago. Lafeyette and Pharoah Rivers are 11 and nine years old when the story begins in the summer of 1987. Living with their mother and six siblings, they struggle against grinding poverty, gun violence, gang influences, overzealous police officers, and overburdened and neglectful bureaucracies. Immersed in their lives for two years, Kotlowitz brings us this classic rendering of growing up poor in America’s cities.

This book shed light on an area I have very little understanding of and increase my empathy and desire to help. It is unique perspective on a troubled part of the American dream

Excellent

This book was tough to get through. I think the author wanted you to feel the discomfort the people in the were feeling. It’s brilliant and should be a mandatory read for anyone wanting to put a face to the byproduct of systemic racism.

An eye opening view of some of the “inner workings“ of public housing (AKA ghetto, projects, etc.) in Chicago. I’m sure the lives of these residents mirror other families & individuals in inner city public housing and anyone working with people in these environments should read this book. As a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), I felt the author gave me the opportunity to see the multilayered oppression that children are subjected to.

Eye opener!

This is a must read for all who are either unaware of or have forgotten the impact that drug infested, violent, poverty stricken communities have on children and families.

Captivating and touching

When I recognized the voice of the narrator and realized that it was the same person that narrates First 48, I was sold! The story is very interesting and I was able to find updates on the boys. Also, the author reports on an episode of This American Life on NPR titled "Harper High School" (parts I and II) where he briefly discusses the book and gives an update about Dawn. It can be found on the This American Life website under episodes from 2013 and is the reason I chose this book. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that enjoys texts of this nature.

Great Listen!
