"Hi Will,
I agree with Francine's reply to you. It really does depend on your interests. Once you select a few universities that you are interested in, i would suggest that you visit them, (if you have the chance), or get in touch with some…"
Francine Barone replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Where should I study anthropology?"I'd like to give a simple answer, but the best place to study anthro in the UK depends on what kind of course you're interested in. A good place to start would be to <a…"

Will Lloyd replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Elliot Liebow's Tally's Corner and Philippe Bourgois's In Search of Respect"Thanks Keith, I had the same thought myself. I can probably read Street Corner Society in time. I'll at least check if the local uni library has a copy. Thanks :D"
"You probably have limited time, Will, and these books are both well worthy of study. But I wonder if they might be triangulated through Whyte's classic study of Boston in the 30s, Street Corner Society. I am sure they were both influenced by…"

Hi there, I'm a sixth-form student and I have decided to write an essay which draws on the findings of Philippe Bourgois and Elliot Liebow in the above texts, to look at inner-city poverty as well as class and ethnic segregation in the U.S in two places at two different times, to find the connections between the two and also look at the historical political economic similarities and changes which influence the life of the people in both studies. I was wondering if any of you who have read or…See More
Will Lloyd replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Crack ethnography?"Thanks, Justin. Bourgois' 'In Search of Respect' has a chapter on the social history of East Harlem which mentions this book and is very helpful in providing context. And yes, Samantha, I will gladly post up my essay when it's…"
Justin Bos replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Crack ethnography?"Dear Will,
It seems that most of the work suggested is fairly recent. Perhaps it is interesting to take a classic on board that unmistakeably made its impact on the themes you are interested in and offers the possibility to add…"
Samantha replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Crack ethnography?"This is a very interesting project, any chance you'd be willing to share the results?"
Will Lloyd replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Crack ethnography?"Perhaps I should broaden this to a text on poverty and marginalization in the U.S inner city?"
Scott Miller replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Crack ethnography?"Hey, not sure if your assignment is finished yet, but no overview of crack/cocaine ethnography work would be complete without reading sociologist Terry William's 2 books Cocaine Kids and Crackhouse. They chronicle the author's 15…"
Will Lloyd replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Crack ethnography?"I haven't heard of that one, thanks! And keep reccomending if you know any more, I'm looking for as much as I can get at the moment. W"
Philip Swift replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Crack ethnography?"
Will,
I'm sure you've already plenty to read, but Shelter Blues, by Robert Desjarlais, might also be of use. It's an ethnography of rough sleepers in Boston, and contains some powerful accounts of homeless…"
Will Lloyd replied to Will Lloyd's discussion Crack ethnography?"They will, very much so. Thanks everyone! Will ask for more tips if I come to any hurdles. :)"
