"In Getting Played, sociologist Jody Miller presents a compelling
picture of this dire social problem and explores how inextricably,
and tragically, linked violence is to their daily lives in poor
urban neighborhoods."
-QBR, "The Black Book Review"
"Miller's analysis is spot-on and sensitive, illuminating the oft
overseen effects and workings of privilege . . . she does a great
job at showing how large societal forces have very real,
individual, and private consequences."
-"Feminist Review",
"The result of Miller's information lode is a sometimes uplifting
book. It is possible for government and private-sector programs to
alleviate the violence against females, Miller believes--but not if
those in charge lack the will and refuse to allocate the
resources."
-"St. Louis Post Dispatch",
