Description
From Amazon.com:
New Yorker writer William Finnegan spent time with families in four communities across America and became an intimate observer of the lives he reveals in these beautifully rendered portraits: a fifteen-year-old drug dealer in blighted New Haven, Connecticut; a sleepy Texas town transformed by crack; Mexican American teenagers in Washington State, unable to relate to their immigrant parents and trying to find an identity in gangs; jobless young white supremacists in a downwardly mobile L.A. suburb. Important, powerful, and compassionate, Cold New World gives us an unforgettable look into a present that presages our future.<P>A New York Times Notable Book of the Year<br>A Los Angeles Times Best Nonfiction of 1998 selection<br>One of the Voice Literary Supplement's Twenty-five Favorite Books of 1998<P>
