by Philippe I. Bourgois, Jeff Schonberg
About
"This powerful anthropological and photographic study plunges the reader into the world of homelessness and drug addiction in the contemporary United States. For over a decade Philippe Bourgois and Jeff Schonberg followed two dozen heroin injectors and crack smokers in their scramble for survival on the streets of San Francisco. Righteous Dopefiend is a vivid chronicle of intimate suffering, solidarity, and betrayal and a trenchant analysis of the structural forces that shape the lives of the destitute in the world's wealthiest nation"--Back cover.
