"During my first weeks at the University of Chicago, in the fall of 1989, I had to attend a variety of orientation sessions."
The main thing he learned in them? Do not go to the bad neighborhoods, especially the projects! So being a good sociologist, what did he precisely then go do? Yes, he went to the projects.

I'll be interested to see how this thought-provoking premise plays out. Looking forward to your review!
I studied sociology for a while and found it so interesting, so straight away I'm interested in this book. Having said that, the opening doesn't really do a lot for me, so I hope it gets better!
