Behind Ghetto Walls Black Families in a Federal Slum

This book is about the family lives of some 10,000 children and adults who live in an all African-American public housing project in St Louis. The Pruitt- Igoe project is only one of the many environments in which urban African- Americans lived in the 1960s, but the character of the family life there shares much with the family life of lower-class African-Americans as it has been described by other investigators in other cities and at other times, in Harlem, Chicago, or New Orleans.Rainwater, Lee is the author of 'Behind Ghetto Walls Black Families in a Federal Slum' with ISBN 9780202309071 and ISBN 020230907X.
