TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Violence breeding violence JO - Contemporary sociology A1 - Leverentz, Andrea SP - 18 EP - 22 VL - 46 IS - 1 N2 - In Harm's Way is an ethnography of urban marginality and the prevalence and meaning of violence and collective trauma in marginalized communities. It presents a compelling portrait of how chronic violence--of all kinds--shapes the lives of people living in a poor area outside Buenos Aires. By situating the book in a detailed history of the development of their focus community, Javier Auyero and MarĂa Fernanda Berti ground their analysis in the social forces that have shaped violence as a response to a wide variety of conflicts and issues. This is both, then, a specific story of the residents of Arquitecto Tucci (a pseudonym) and a general story of urban violence and trauma.
