520    "A landmark work of intimate reporting on inequality, race,
       class, and violence, told through a murder and 
       intersecting lives in an iconic American neighborhood. One
       New Haven summer evening in 2006, a retired grandfather 
       was shot point-blank by a young stranger. A hasty police 
       investigation culminated in innocent sixteen-year-old 
       Bobby being sentenced to prison for thirty-eight years. 
       New Haven native and acclaimed author Nicholas Dawidoff 
       returned home and spent eight years reporting the deeper 
       story of this injustice, and what it reveals about the 
       enduring legacies of social and economic disparity. In The
       Other Side of Prospect, he has produced an immersive 
       portrait of a seminal community in an old American city 
       now beset by division and gun violence. Tracing the 
       histories of three people whose lives meet in tragedy--
       victim Pete Fields, likely murderer Major, and Bobby--
       Dawidoff indelibly describes optimistic families coming 
       north from South Carolina as part of the Great Migration, 
       for the promise of opportunity and upward mobility, and 
       the harrowing costs of deindustrialization and neglect. 
       Foremost are the unique challenges confronted by children 
       like Major and Bobby coming of age in their "forgotten" 
       neighborhood, steps from Yale University. After years in 
       prison, with the help of a true-believing lawyer, Bobby is
       finally set free. His subsequent struggles with the 
       memories of prison, and his heartbreaking efforts to 
       reconnect with family and community, exemplify the 
       challenges the formerly incarcerated face upon reentry 
       into society and, writes Reginald Dwayne Betts, make this 
       "the best book about the crisis of incarceration in 
       America." The Other Side of Prospect is a reportorial tour
       de force, at once a sweeping account of how the injustices
       of racism and inequality reverberate through the 
       generations, and a beautifully written portrait of 
       American city life, told through a group of unforgettable 
       people and their intertwined experiences."--|cProvided by
