Contents:
How does neighborhood poverty affect social capital? -- Villa Victoria and Boston's South End -- The rise and decline of local participation, part 1 : social organization theory -- The rise and decline of local participation, part 2 : cohorts and collective narratives -- The ecology of group differentiation -- Social capital and the spatialization of resources -- A labyrinth of loyalties -- Social capital in poor neighborhoods.
Summary: For decades now, scholars and politicians alike have argued that the concentration of poverty in city housing projects would produce distrust, alienation, apathy, and social isolation--the disappearance of what sociologists call social capital. But relatively few have examined precisely how such poverty affects social capital or have considered for what reasons living in a poor neighborhood results in such undesirable effects. This book examines a neglected Puerto Rican enclave in Boston to consider the pros and cons of social scientific thinking about the true nature of ghettos in America. Mari.
