ANEW YORK TIMESNOTABLE BOOK . ALOS ANGELES TIMESBEST NONFICTION SELECTION Praise forCold New World "Unlike most journalists who drop in for a quick interview and fly back out again, Finnegan spent many weeks with families in each community over a period of several years, enough time to distinguish between the kind of short-term problems that can beset anyone and the longer-term systemic poverty and social disintegration that can pound an entire generation into a groove of despair."-Los Angeles Times Book Review "The most remarkable of William Finnegan's many literary gifts is his compassion. Not the fact of it, which we have a right to expect from any personal reporting about the oppressed, but its coolness, its clarity, its ductile strength. . . . Finnegan writes like a dream.

WhileCold New Worldmay make us look in new ways at our young people, perhaps its real goal is to make us look at ourselves."-The Philadelphia Inquirer.…
