Why read it?
1 author picked On the Run as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a story about gangs in Chicago and one woman’s personal involvement in researching them. It is a sad book but also one full of surprises, family stories, and romance.
I learnt so much about what it means to be black and poor today. Goffman was as closely involved as was possible for a white, female grad student and pushed the boundaries of what good journalism and research needs to do today.
From Johannes' list on understanding poverty today, from the bottom up.
