Review Quotes

“Habitus of the Hood provides an important and timely corrective to exaggerated accounts of social and moral decline. The contributions in the book demonstrate the considerable utility and versatility of habitus for understanding lived experience, practices, and representations of low-income urban neighborhoods.”
