“Righteous Dopefiend” by Philippe Bourgois and Jeff Schonberg

I just started this in the last few days (while I have been at a conference, where I have discovered-yet again-that limited diets are a poor life choice when you are dependent on other people to feed you yet would still like to eat occasionally) and it does not disappoint. Bourgois is retaining his place as my #1 anthropology crush (and the rest of the books in the California Series in Public Anthropology aren’t bad either).

This is just a collection of things I think are neat.

A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
