Hays' work is clearly about > political economy. Along the same lines, I use Geoff Canada's "Fist, Stick, Knife and Gun." It's highly readable and powerful, and deals with race, urban poverty, drugs, and guns. It also offers perspectives on social change. My students love it. Another favorite of my is Karen Seccombe's "So You Think I Drive a Cadillac?" Seccombe's work is a qualitative study of women on welfatre, post-TANF.
