Nostalgic Souls

Philippe Bourgois makes me want to become an Anthropologist.

His ethnography I’m reading for class, ‘In Search of Respect’ is amazing. At some points a little too confronting, but that’s the what an ethnography is. It gets you to see everything you would never even know existed.

He believes the victims aren’t the cause, society is, and by reading his book, you can’t help but empathise with his characters.

In short: an amazing read.
