Teaching Literature in an Urban Setting

So book bloggers of the world...here's a question that I hope you can all help me with. Not only do I read and review books on literaturechick.com, but I teach English and composition at two colleges in an urban setting. I find that the books on my syllabus are simply not approachable for my students and would love to hear your thoughts on essays/short stories or books that might work. Any new authors (besides the usual suspects), new books?

Thanks,
Ellen

Thanks everyone for your replies. I am going to start teaching Junot Diaz during the summer! You have given me so many great ideas.
