    Nathan McCall’s novel, Them, takes you on a journey that takes place in a Atlanta neighborhood known for its central road, Auburn Avenue, which at one point was considered as the “richest Negro street in the world.” This story is focused on Barlowe Reed, a single, middle aged African American man who is still living with his nephew on Randolph Street, just a little ways from Dr. Martin Luther King’s historic birthplace.

    The Code of the Street by Elijah Anderson is a theory developed by Anderson himself that demonstrates the explanation of the high rates of violence and the life of inner-city people, mainly African-Americans, living in Philadelphia. In some of the most economically depressed and drug- and crime-ridden pockets of the city, the rules of the civil law have been severely weakened, and in their stead a “code of the street” often holds away (Anderson 9). The “code of the street” is known as a set of informal rules leading to the public behavior known as violence, deterrence, the possession of respect is at the heart of the code, and the belief that there are two different types of families known as “decent” families and “street” families.
