With the original 1987 publication of \u003cem\u003eAin't No Makin' It, \u003c\/em\u003e Jay MacLeod brought us to the Clarendon Heights housing project where we met the 'Brothers' and the 'Hallway Hangers'. Their story of poverty, race, and defeatism moved readers and challenged ethnic stereotypes. MacLeod's return eight years later, and the resulting 1995 revision, revealed little improvement in the lives of these men as they struggled in the labor market and crime-ridden underground economy. The third edition of this classic ethnography of social reproduction brings the story of inequality and social mobility into today's dialogue. Now fully updated with thirteen new interviews from the original Hallway Hangers and Brothers, as well as new theoretical analysis and comparison to the original conclusions, \u003cem\u003eAin't No Makin' It\u003c\/em\u003e remains an admired and invaluable text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay MacLeod\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813343585\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813343587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2008 pg. 159\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jay MacLeod","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072452423935,"sku":"9780813343587","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6bd5506-8ea4-4776-a016-da071971b3e2.jpg?v=1685442053","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aint-no-makin-it-jay-macleod-9780813343587","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
