2433X1 Reprint Edition. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge: 1999. 392 pages. Softcover. Very good condition. For the first time, an anthropologist has managed to gain the confianza and long-term friendship of street-level drug dealers in one of the roughest ghetto neighborhoods in the United States - East Harlem. For four years, the author had completely free rein to observe, tape-record, and photograph every facet of the lives of some two dozen Puerto Rican crack dealers. By presenting their crack-house conversations in context, he conveys in their own words the most intimate and taboo details of their personal lives: from violent crime and gang rape, to tender friendships and childhood dreams of glory and dignity. Documents the full range of human experience and emotion in the struggle for survival and dignity on the street. Includes an Index. ISBN: 0521574609 $34.95USD
