Among the Thugs by Bill Buford

J Mikal Davis: It’s about football hooligans, mostly Man United, in the 1980s. It’s an American immersing himself in this subculture and just trying to figure out what these guys are thinking –kind of like Hunter S Thompson going into the Hells Angels. It could get hairy very quickly, but he’s made himself part of these guys and their world. I sometimes miss my stop because I get so into my books. I’ll sometimes get off at my stop and then sit on a bench to finish a chapter before moving on.

Twice the Work of Free Labor by Alex Lichtenstein

Jim Zarroli: It’s a very academic book about the convict-labour system in the south after the Civil War. Rather than being sent to prison, convicts were leased out to businesses, to mines, even to factories for very low amounts of money and they had to do forced labour for years, often as punishment for very mild crimes. And that’s something that continued in the South for years until it was replaced by the chain-gang system in 1908. People would be incarcerated for 10 years for crimes like stealing a pair of globes. Many of the prisoners were African-Americans, freed slaves, and this was almost like a way of re-enslaving them.
