    Cool Book
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2014*

One of the things that I really like about authors that operate in the same framework as Wacquant is that they are both academic but also very accessible. This book certainly fits the bill because Wacquant does a great job of describing the Woodlawn neighborhood and the boxing culture that exists in the area. His experience and talent as a writer makes reading the book a joy. My only critique is that I wish I would have heard more from other fighters/people who participated in boxing with Wacquant. To elaborate a bit further, Wacquant was the sole writer/creator of the experiences he was describing--which was slightly biased. Still, this is a great book for anyone interested in actual lived sociological research.

    The sweet science for sociologists
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 29, 2016*

A wonderful story and sociological analysis of young black men learning the skills and discipline of boxing in a gym in Chicago's ghetto.The author, a French grad student who joined them to study the "sweet science of bruising," shows insight and compassion. Although the academic insights are significant, he tells a good story without weighing it down with unnecessary jargon.As in any other persuit, boxing requires discipline, and the more successful students have it. As their wise old trainer notes, "The gym is to boxing what the church is to religion."Some good writers have studied boxing, including  A. J. Liebling and Joyce Carol Oates. This author joins their ranks.

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2014*

For anyone interested in the life of a boxer, the training and the overall effort involved, this is a must read. Having boxed as an amateur myself I will vouch for the authentic nature of this writer's detailed observations, and the feel of place and time in a lower income world in which this gym and these fighters exist. For me it was in a less than wealthy area in downtown Los Angeles, and here we read of Chicago's South Side, but the similarities are striking. There is very scholarly sociological input along with first-hand descriptions of the training routine, the hopes, the friendships, the sparring, the lead-up to a tournament bout, and the actual boxing.
