This book is about the family lives of some 10,000 children and adults who live in an all African-American public housing project in St Louis. The Pruitt- Igoe project is only one of the many environments in which urban African- Americans lived in the 1960s, but the character of the family life there shares much with the family life of lower-class African-Americans as it has been described by other investigators in other cities and at other times, in Harlem, Chicago, or New Orleans.
