For over a decade Philippe Bourgois and Jeff Schonberg followed a social network of two dozen heroin injectors and crack smokers on the streets of San Francisco, accompanying them as they scrambled to generate income through burglary, panhandling, recycling, and day labor. Righteous Dopefiend interweaves stunning black-and-white photographs with vivid dialogue, detailed field notes, and critical theoretical analysis. Its gripping narrative develops a cast of characters around the themes of violence, race relations, sexuality, family trauma, embodied suffering, social inequality, and power relations. The result is a dispassionate chronicle of survival, loss, caring, and hope rooted in the addicts' determination to hang on for one more day and one more "fix" through a "moral economy of sharing" that precariously balances mutual solidarity and interpersonal betrayal.California series in public anthropology ;21.Drug addictsUnited StatesSocial conditionsDrug addictsUnited StatesEconomic conditionsHomeless personsDrug useUnited StatesMarginality, SocialUnited StatesElectronic books.addiction.betrayal.biography.black and white photography.burglary.dialogue.dispassionate chronicle.drug abusers.drug and alcohol abuse.gonzo journalism.gripping narrative.heroin.homeless.human survival.inequality.larceny.life of a drug addict.memoir.opioid epidemic.overdose.panhandling.race relations.racism.san francisco drug scene.sexuality.solidarity.suffering.theoretical analysis.trauma.treatment of addicts.vicious cycle.violence.Drug addictsSocial conditions.Drug addictsEconomic conditions.Homeless personsDrug useMarginality, Social305.9/0874Bourgois Philippe I.1956-623711Schonberg Jeff1967-790632MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457414603321Righteous dopefiend1765947UNINA
