Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title Typically residing in areas of concentrated urban poverty, too many young black men are trapped in a horrific cycle that includes active discrimination, unemployment, violence, crime, prison, and early death. This toxic mixture has given rise to wider stereotypes that limit the social capital of all young black males. Edited and with an introductory chapter by sociologist Elijah Anderson, the essays in Against the Wall describe how the young black man has come to be identified publicly with crime and violence. In reaction to his sense of rejection, he may place an exaggerated emphasis on the integrity of his self-expression in clothing and demeanor by adopting the fashions of the "street." To those deeply invested in and associated with the dominant culture, his attitude is perceived as profoundly oppositional. His presence in public gathering places becomes disturbing to others, and the stereotype of the dangerous young black male is perpetuated and strengthened. To understand the origin of the problem and the prospects of the black inner-city male, it is essential to distinguish his experience from that of his pre-Civil Rights Movement forebears. In the 1950s, as militant black people increasingly emerged to challenge the system, the figure of the black male became more ambiguous and fearsome. And while this activism did have the positive effect of creating opportunities for the black middle class who fled from the ghettos, those who remained faced an increasingly desperate climate. Featuring a foreword by Cornel West and sixteen original essays by contributors including William Julius Wilson, Gerald D. Jaynes, Douglas S. Massey, and Peter Edelman, Against the Wall illustrates how social distance increases as alienation and marginalization within the black male underclass persist, thereby deepening the country's racial divide.

评分这本书给我带来了一种久违的沉浸感,读起来酣畅淋漓,仿佛置身于主人公的处境之中,一同经历着那些惊心动魄的时刻。故事的开篇就抓住了我的注意力,作者巧妙地设置了一个充满悬念的开局,让我迫不及待地想知道接下来会发生什么。叙事节奏把握得非常到位,时而紧张激烈,时而又能在关键时刻放缓笔触,深入挖掘人物的内心世界。我特别喜欢作者对细节的刻画,无论是环境的描绘,还是人物细微的表情和动作,都显得格外真实,极具画面感。这种细致入微的描写,不仅让故事更加生动,也让人物形象更加立体饱满,我仿佛能看到他们的眼神,感受到他们的呼吸。
评分我必须说,这本书的情节发展让我感到惊喜连连。一开始我以为会是某种模式化的故事,但随着阅读的深入,我发现作者的想象力是多么的丰富。那些出乎意料的转折,那些巧妙的伏笔,都展现了作者高超的叙事技巧。我常常在阅读过程中猜想接下来的剧情,但往往猜不到,这正是这本书的魅力所在。它不会让读者感到乏味,总是能在你以为一切都已尘埃落定时,抛出一个新的谜团,或者揭露一个更深的秘密。这种层层递进的结构,让我在阅读的同时,也进行着一场精彩的智力博弈。
