Novels or memoirs about urban ghetto life in the 60s-70s?

I was going through my bookshelf today and found my anthology of James Baldwin’s writings from when I took a course on African American Political Thought in grad school. An absolutely enthralling course taught by a Straussian Plato scholar who dabbled quite a bit in postmodern political theory, my favorite section of the course concerned mid twentieth-century African American political ideas. It’s the wee hours of the morning and this course was in 21, so I don’t remember everything I read, but I recall really enjoying Baldwin’s writings about Harlem. For my term paper, I utilized previous knowledge of Foucault and Agamben to analyze Baldwin’s Harlem. Contemporaneously, I was really getting into 1960s and 1970s music, film, and art and found myself utterly fascinated with the gritty and tragic urban existence displayed in films like Taxi Driver, The French Connection, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, and Shaft. I listened to a lot of funk and soul at the time too. In fact, my professor and I spent quite a bit of time chatting about obscure black punk bands and 70s films and how they were some of the clearest explications of the mood of the 70s. Anyways, that’s all to say, my favorite part of the course, as well as my pop culture interests, orbited around the urban ghetto experience of the 60s and 70s.

Besides Baldwin’s writings, are there any novels or memoirs that take place in the ghetto during the 60s and 70s? I’m also open to some academic non-fiction (I skimmed Dark Ghetto for my term paper, though admittedly did not have enough time to read it in full), though I would really enjoy fiction novels or non-fiction memoirs first.

Thanks in advance.
