In Search of Respect
Second Edition – Selling Crack in El Barrio

A highly regarded ethnographic study by Philippe Bourgois, documenting street-level life, survival, and the crack economy in East Harlem (El Barrio), New York.

First published in 1995 to critical acclaim, this second edition (2003) includes a new preface and updated epilogue reflecting changes in the lives of the people Bourgois worked with over many years of immersive fieldwork. The book is widely cited across anthropology, sociology, criminology, and urban studies.

Praised by figures including Tom Wolfe and Pierre Bourdieu, it remains a cornerstone text on inequality, marginalisation, and the lived realities of inner-city America.
