An informative, clearheaded and sobering book.-Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post (1999 Critic's Choice) Inner-city black America is often stereotyped as a place of random violence, but in fact, violence in the inner city is regulated through an informal but well-known code of the street. This unwritten set of rules-based largely on an individual's ability to command respect-is a powerful and pervasive form of etiquette, governing the way in which people learn to negotiate public spaces. Elijah Anderson's incisive book delineates the code and examines it as a response to the lack of jobs that pay a living wage, to the stigma of race, to rampant drug use, to alienation and lack of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGreat product!\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539140215072,"sku":"NEW0393320782","price":31.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61dh8_QADGL.jpg?v=1777485924","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/code-of-the-street-decency-violence-and-the-moral-life-of-the-inner-city-0393320782","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
