Reviews
"At a time when we have so much difficulty understanding poverty in our own country, it is interesting to look at some other country's poor, to examine their anger and frustration." -- Anatole Broyard, New York Times, "In a book of uncommon eloquence, Mr. Belmonte... has drawn a series of unsparing portraits showing us how these people live." -- New York Times Book Review

Synopsis
Belmonte describes life in an impoverished Naples, Italy, neighborhood, where casual criminality and anger set the tone., Belmonte describes Fontana del Re, an impoverished Neapolitan neighborhood, documenting the struggles of Neapolitans surrounded by crumbling buildings and economic insecurity. Resisting standard depictions of the social and moral lives of the poor, Belmonte presents nuanced portraits of his subjects. He was also one of the first anthropologists to reflect on his own reactions and emotions. He describes the traumatic experience of living alone in a strange urban environment and his social interactions with the residents of Fontana del Re.
