Product Information

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.

Fun and Interesting Read
As a student, I find this book one of the better books you'll read in college. It's actually really interesting because the author analyzes his 5 year experience living in Harlem during the late 80s and early 90s during the peak of crack dealing. Bourgois shares the nitty gritty details of what it's like being a dealer but most especially of what it's like living in the ghetto. I highly recommend this book!

Book is Foul
This book was required reading. However, the book is very disturbing. Unless the book is required reading, don't bother.
