Black lower class life in the United States is revealed in a study based on case studies of specific families living in a federal housing project.

Behind Ghetto Walls: Black Family Life in a Federal Slum

Mr. Rainwater was such a vibrant force in speaking about the problems that resulted from some of the more infamous Urban Renewal projects. His work in the area probably helped change the way society looks at and deals with housing assistance. He found the few benefits of proximity but exposed the down side. Excellent book. If you are not familiar with what was viewed as assistance and solutions in the middle of the last century, it just might open your eyes a little.
Good until the end... then

Good sociological study ends with poorly thought out plans
