Gang Leader for a Day: A Rogue Sociologist Takes to the Streets is nonfiction
Have you ever wondered what it would actually be like to be in a gang? If you read Sudhir Venkatesh's story, Gang Leader For a Day, you will find out. In Sudhir's story, you will hear first hand how he went from a college graduate and sociologist to being in a gang. You probably have seen gang members on TV before and heard stories about gangs and wondered what it is like to live like that every single day. Sudhir Venkatesh wondered the same thing, so he decided to go interview gang members to ask them about it. The gang members were not pleased with his curiosity and he actually ended up getting held hostage. That is just where his adventure begins. In Sudhir's book, you will read about crazy stories of what happens on a daily basis, how others in the neighborhood treat you, and what it is like to be the actual leader of a gang. If you want to know what it is like to be in a gang without getting held hostage, go check out Gang Leader For a Day by Sudhir Venkatesh.
