This powerful study immerses the reader in the world of homelessness and drug addiction in the contemporary United States. For over a decade Philippe Bourgois and Jeff Schonberg followed a social network of two dozen heroin injectors and crack smokers on the streets of San Francisco, accompanying them as they scrambled to generate income through burglary, panhandling, recycling, and day labor. "Righteous Dopefiend" interweaves stunning black-and-white photographs with vivid dialogue, detailed field notes, and critical theoretical analysis.Its gripping narrative develops a cast of characters around the themes of violence, race relations, sexuality, family trauma, embodied suffering, social inequality, and power relations. The result is a dispassionate chronicle of survival, loss, caring, and hope rooted in the addicts' determination to hang on for one more day and one more 'fix' through a 'moral economy of sharing' that precariously balances mutual solidarity and interpersonal betrayal.
Philippe Bourgois is Richard Perry University Professor of Anthropology and Family and Community Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Jeff Schonberg is a photographer and a graduate student in medical anthropology at the University of California, San Francisco

真心好看
评分病痛中读完这本到处是病痛的书。团队田野做到这个地步真是无话可说。
评分AY111 First ethnography I read. Solid writing, but wasn't quite interested in homeless drug addicts.
评分真心好看
评分感觉跟 Joao Biehl 那两本书的路数很类似,甚至都是一样的铜版纸印刷,还配了专业的摄影师……这种不管是叫 radical alterity 还是 subaltern counterpublics,感觉引进国内都很好卖呀,又好读,丧丧的,挺感人,还有学理,可收进“卖惨人类学”系列丛书
