具体描述
Forty years in, the War on Drugs has done almost nothing to prevent drugs from being sold or used, but it has nonetheless created a little-known surveillance state in America’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods. Arrest quotas and high-tech surveillance techniques criminalize entire blocks, and transform the very associations that should stabilize young lives—family, relationships, jobs—into liabilities, as the police use such relationships to track down suspects, demand information, and threaten consequences.
Alice Goffman spent six years living in one such neighborhood in Philadelphia, and her close observations and often harrowing stories reveal the pernicious effects of this pervasive policing. Goffman introduces us to an unforgettable cast of young African American men who are caught up in this web of warrants and surveillance—some of them small-time drug dealers, others just ordinary guys dealing with limited choices. All find the web of presumed criminality, built as it is on the very associations and friendships that make up a life, nearly impossible to escape. We watch as the pleasures of summer-evening stoop-sitting are shattered by the arrival of a carful of cops looking to serve a warrant; we watch—and can’t help but be shocked—as teenagers teach their younger siblings and cousins how to run from the police (and, crucially, to keep away from friends and family so they can stay hidden); and we see, over and over, the relentless toll that the presumption of criminality takes on families—and futures.
While not denying the problems of the drug trade, and the violence that often accompanies it, through her gripping accounts of daily life in the forgotten neighborhoods of America's cities, Goffman makes it impossible for us to ignore the very real human costs of our failed response—the blighting of entire neighborhoods, and the needless sacrifice of whole generations.

读后感
今年五月剛由衛城出版的《全員在逃：一部關於美國黑人城市逃亡生活的民族誌》在台灣宣傳的策略非常明確：儘管有著非常高的評價，這本書同時也極具爭議性。甚至隨著此書的出版，在網路上唯一相關的中文文章是一篇由一群學生寫給作者社會學家愛麗絲‧高夫曼的公開抗議信的翻譯...
评分在这本从本科开始就进行田野调查的著作中，戈夫曼之女爱丽斯戈夫曼（小戈）融合民族志方法与老戈部分理论，观察执法机器对族群社群生活与社会纽带的冲击及后者的反应。司法和执法系统变得越来越精密（各种科技进步甚至向斯塔西学习盘查和监控技巧）、繁琐（各个执法机构各自有...

评分既然都很喜欢本书，只好科普一下本书和Alice Goffman在美国被圈内黑爆的事情。 当政治学的quantie Lacour的支持同性恋婚姻研究被揭穿完全造假的同时，也就是15年夏天，AG的On the Run也开始被揭穿。 最开始是有人匿名网传给各社会学者一封巨长的信，人称"massive takedown of...

用户评价
我没读过多少urban sociology，也许不能客观地从ethnographer的角度评价这本书。我能说的仅仅是我用了五个小时的时间，看完了Goffman女儿的新作，而且百感交集。
评分a well-tailored book, 读起来很快很爽感觉不像是读平常的学术作品，基本上没有在书里用jargon或者做很多的reference,偶尔几个reference也都是像wacquant 这种人人都读过他东西的人，所以读起来感觉格外的舒爽。不过在theory building方面比较缺失，没有体现出更abstract的analytical framework感觉有点遗憾。不过Alice本人的dedication真的是值得我们这些ethnographer好好学习，虽然不知道Goofman这个姓对她的成功到底起到了多大的作用，但是获得public attention确是情理之中。

评分看了一些有关这本书的批评 也改变不了我对它的看法 看到Chuck的死那一刻真是感觉这本书超越人类学的范畴了
评分还是引人入胜的。
