### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Bought it for my Anthro class, ended up reading it on my own
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2013*

So I bought this book for my Anthropology 201 class with Dr. Louie (MSU, anyone?) and thought that it would be one of those books that I barely read in class and then toss away. But even after the class was over I read it over and over again and used it for research papers in other classes. Bourgois did an excellent job living amongst and observing the every-day lives of the residents in El Barrio. He used emic and etic analysis to deepen the reader's understanding of exactly what goes on, and he took it even further by applying his findings to relevant solutions (ones that would actually work) for the problems he encountered. It's a good read for academics and non-academics alike.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    he comes to truly like and respect the characters in the novel
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2017*

currently reading this novel and loving it - very moving, a difficult read (not challenging in terms of scholarly rhetoric or writing, but content). You get really invested in the characters, and Bourgois gets close and personal with these dealers and truly dissects the complexities, heart, and danger within the drug ring. I appreciate Bourgeois' awareness of his whiteness in East Harlem, and overall privilege; using this to his advantage, he comes to truly like and respect the characters in the novel. all in all an engaging, ethnographic narrative and research study with much thought and dedication put into it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great book worth reading
  

*by E***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2020*

I found this book interesting. It was difficult for me to put this book down. This book touches on the struggles experienced by residents in the broken community of East Harlem. A reader can visualize what the writer is experiencing through the interviews conducted amongst the occupants in this community.  I would highly recommend giving this book a read.
