Finalist, Reference Book, Neighborhood: Twenty Five Years of Dysfunction by Barbe Awalt










neighborhood is the story of a neighborhood in Albuquerque that truly is dysfunctional. Over 25 years, neighbors have been imprisoned, fought, had lawsuits, threatened the lives of others, been in the papers and on TV, and have been unjustly fined. They are not very nice people and the whole idea of neighbors, doesn’t work for them. The sad fact is that these are educated and well-off families. This neighborhood was inspired by a neighborhood in the North Valley of Albuquerque. Is this your neighborhood?
