Recensione

'In Search of Respect: Selling Crack in El Barrio, by Philippe Bourgois, brings the lives of these crack sellers into brilliant focus. Bourgois' raw and poignant book delivers a message about the economics of exclusion that should shake public perceptions of the inner-city drug trade.' Greg Donaldson, The Washington Post

'Critics have called this 'stunning reporting' and 'riveting' - read it and you will see why.' L. C. C. J. Newsletter

Descrizione del libro

In this compelling study of the crack business in East Harlem, Philippe Bourgois argues that a cultural struggle for respect has led some residents of 'El Barrio' away from the legal job market, and into a downward spiral of crime and poverty.
