"Eugene Perkins has written a profound and deeply disturbing book which should be read by every person in this troubled land. A poet, a social analyst and a counsellor of street people, he approaches his subject with compassion and an arsenal of new and revealing concepts...he reveals nuances and subtleties which are beyond the range of the traditional social scientists. His book, in my opinion, is one of the most important of the sociology of the streets since publication of "Black Metropolis." (Lerone Bennet, Jr.)
