This edition adds a prologue describing the major dynamics in America that have altered life on the streets of East Harlem in the six years since the first edition. Bourgois, in a new epilogue, brings up to date the stories of the people - Primo, Caesar, Luis, Tony, Candy - who readers come to know in this remarkable window onto the world of the inner-city drug trade.
- New prologue and epilogue bring this story up to date
- Eyewitness account of violence, crime, substance abuse, sexual abuse, domestic strife, and family crisis in the ghetto
- Theoretical discussion of the intersection of race, class, gender, individual responsibility, and social structural constraints in creating the problems of the inner city
