	Health Report - 11 October 2004 - HIV rates among injecting drug users
		Philippe has done anthropological research on both heroin and cocaine users over many years and he was in Australia a few days ago and came into the studio with an Australian investigator in this field, Carla Treloar of the National Centre for HIV Social Research.
		Philippe Bourgois: No. I it means you have to make friends with people using drugs and hang out with them and be able to see them in their natural environment.
		Philippe Bourgois: And from an outsider's perspective, from drug researchers across the world, Australia used to be the gold standard in terms of harm reduction and health intervention.

	AEQ 274 Book Reviews
		Bourgois and his wife moved into a tenement apartment in East Harlem, an area referred to as El Barrio, early in 1985 and spent the next three-and-a-half years living among the harsh realities of the ghetto streets in order to gain entrée to a network of Puerto Rican crack dealers and their friends and relatives.
		Through this hard-won quasi-intimacy, Bourgois seeks to tell us some things about the symbols and symptoms of ghetto life, the "Achilles heel of the richest industrialized nation in the world." It is this goal that is the source of both the strengths and the weaknesses of Bourgois's study.
		Bourgois acknowledges that these people exist, but the strategy of their struggle is nowhere to be found in the interpretative argument Bourgois presents for life and dignity in El Barrio.

	Books: Crack Shot (Tucson Weekly . 06-01-98)
		Philippe Bourgois, a San Francisco State University anthropologist, spent five years in a Puerto Rican barrio in East Harlem studying the culture of crack cocaine as another anthropologist would an exotic tribe.
		Bourgois' thoughts on the theory and practice of anthropological investigation, which often run counter to the received wisdom of voters and policymakers, are also of interest.
		Bourgois is also strong on identifying cultural continuities, and he draws parallels between latter-day crackhouses and the speakeasies of the Prohibition Era, which serve much the same function in a marginalized subeconomy.

	Heart of Darkness (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Now an academic named Philippe Bourgois has decided to reclaim that terrain for the left, by going far more deeply into the brutal reality of the ghetto than his ideological opponents ever have.
		Bourgois, an anthropologist at San Francisco State University, lived among Puerto Rican crack dealers in New York City's East Harlem for five years.
		Few passages in contemporary literature are as heartbreakingly pathetic as the scene in which one of Bourgois' main informants, Primo, talks about his son, whom he has largely abandoned.

	Amazon.ca: In Search of Respect : Selling Crack in El Barrio: Books: Philippe Bourgois (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Anthropologist Bourgois chose "addicts, thieves, and [drug] dealers to be [his] best friends and acquaintances" during his three-and-one-half-year research residency in New York City's Spanish Harlem.
		Bourgois is not sanguine about the implementation of possible solutions to the not atypical plight of El Barrio's poverty-stricken (nonestablishment) people, who are too often self- or other-destructive in their often futile search for integrity.
		Bourgois' approach to his research makes a lot of sense to me since I was taught (as a would-be historian) to take into account all backgrounds and prejudices of the author, the reader, and the characters (if applicable).

	Comparing the Crack Economy and the "Legit" Economy in New York City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Philippe Bourgois offers a more nuanced picture of the crack trade than the prevailing theory of a simple economic disjunction between a crack economy filled with cash and a "legit" economy rife with unemployment (Philippe Bourgois, "Workaday World, Crack Economy: Breaking Rocks in El Barrio," The Nation, December 4, 1995, p.
		Bourgois writes that most crack dealers start working at very young ages -- running errands, bagging groceries, or stocking beer (under the table) at local bodegas.
		Bourgois writes of a multi-million dollar program run by former heroin addicts that was started to help people in El Barrio make the transition to "downtown" jobs.

		Bourgois, on the other hand, specifically explored the street dynamics that pushed many people from legal employment to the illegal economy.
		Bourgois’ drug dealers’ ideal was the same thing: to make money and escape poverty; while Ray himself was finally able to do so from the profits of his drug-network, the others never made concerted efforts in that direction until, possibly, after Bourgois had stopped studying them (see his Epilogue of 2002).
		Bourgois’ women also focused on money, but furthermore seemed to desire male companionship as confidence-boosters and saw men as an escape route from their problems, while men were chiefly concerned with maintaining their own dignity (machismo) but also viewed women as sources of provision.

	Books: Crack Shot (Tucson Weekly . 04-27-98)
		Bourgois' thoughts on the theory and practice of anthropological investigation, which often run counter to the received wisdom of voters and policy makers, are also of interest.
		This imperative to sanitize the vulnerable is particularly strong in the United States, where survival-of-the-fittest, blame-the-victim theories of individual action constitute a popular 'common sense'." He proposes a different common sense, in which poverty and hopelessness play key roles, all the while giving suffering the hideous face it deserves.
		Bourgois is also strong on identifying cultural continuities, and he draws parallels between latter-day crackhouses and the speakeasies of the Prohibition Era, which serve much the same function in a marginalized sub-economy.

	El Barrio
		Socioeconomic Inequalities in El Barrio In Search of Respect: Selling Crack in El Barrio was written by Philippe Bourgois in order to explain why a substantial amount of the residents of El Barrio stray from legal job markets and into lifestyles of crime and poverty.
		However, Bourgois argues that because of societal oppressions, these residents are forced to chase the “American Dream” of respect and success in extremely different approaches than those of mainstream America.
		Philippe Bourgois moved to an apartment in an area in East Harlem known as El Barrio in 1985 to research the cultural apartheid that is present in the United States.

		To shroud the deeds of that organized hypocrisy of American-style conservatism we hear the escalating call to arms against a mythical enemy, in other times a sure harbinger and esssential seed of fascism.
		And finally, Bourgois points out the unfortunate reality of today s America: Political feasibility for accomplishing any of his recommendations is nil.

	In Search of Respect: Selling Crack in El Barrio, 2/e - Philippe Bourgois (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		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.
		During his many years living in the neighborhood, Bourgois eventually gained the confidence of enough Barrio residents to present their hopes, plans, and disappointments in their own words.
		The result is an engaging and often disturbing look at the problems of the inner-city, America's greatest domestic failing.
