Book Reviews of In Search of Respect: Selling Crack in El Barrio (Structural Analysis in the Social Sciences)
Book Review: Excellent study of inner-city culture
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this book. Bourgois does a great job describing the causes and consequences of crime in the inner-city. He dispells the many myths that people have about drug dealers and addicts. And, he effectively combines first hand experience with sociological theory to explain and describe inner-city life. It is a great book for both personal reading or for use in a college course on crime.
