Gang Leader for a Day

A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets

Sudhir Venkatesh

Embedded inside one of Chicago's most notorious housing projects, a graduate student befriends a gang leader named JT and experiences their crack-selling business, neighborhood dynamics, and complex hierarchies. Gang Leader for a Day examines the morally ambiguous yet highly intricate struggle for survival in urban war zones while detailing the complicated friendship that develops between two young and ambitious men. Riveting and raw, this account provides a vivid and sympathetic portrayal of lives usually ignored or misrepresented.
