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
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.

Intimate Apartheid: the ethic/ethnic issues in ethnography methodology
评分毒品確實是現代性的眾多腫瘤之一瞭。lumpen這個概念對我還挺有幫助,書讀得少確實很難找到準確的理論框架。
评分第一次感受到紀實文字的力量

评分感覺跟 Joao Biehl 那兩本書的路數很類似,甚至都是一樣的銅版紙印刷,還配瞭專業的攝影師……這種不管是叫 radical alterity 還是 subaltern counterpublics,感覺引進國內都很好賣呀,又好讀,喪喪的,挺感人,還有學理,可收進“賣慘人類學”係列叢書
