Boo 50-100
I can't really tell that Boo has done any secondary research at all. Just by reading the book, it seems as if all of her primary. I am not sure that she has done any research besides interviews with the people in Annawadi. She may have done a little bit of secondary research, but if she has, there is no concrete evidence to provide the readers with any secondary research. This may be the point of this book, however, because, as she mentioned in the author's notes, Boo wanted to tell the stories and growth of this slum through the eyes of the slum-dwellers themselves. Perhaps she doesn't want outside sources to taint the rawness and realness of the stories of the people in the slum. The lack of outside sources may be keeping this story as real as possible.
