Just finished "Streetwise" as suggested by notes in "Discourse and Destruction" by Robin Wagner-Pacifici. One of the most well-written social critiques I've had the pleasure of reading. This "code of the street" alluded to in "Streetwise" is a favorite theme in the novels of the great Chester Himes- largely auobioghaphical, no doubt. Art imitating life in the most extreme.
