Forty years in, the War on Drugs has done almost nothing to prevent drugs from being sold or used, but it has nonetheless created a little-known surveillance state in America’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods. Arrest quotas and high-tech surveillance techniques criminalize entire blocks, and transform the very associations that should stabilize young lives—family, relationships, jobs—into liabilities, as the police use such relationships to track down suspects, demand information, and threaten consequences.
Alice Goffman spent six years living in one such neighborhood in Philadelphia, and her close observations and often harrowing stories reveal the pernicious effects of this pervasive policing. Goffman introduces us to an unforgettable cast of young African American men who are caught up in this web of warrants and surveillance—some of them small-time drug dealers, others just ordinary guys dealing with limited choices. All find the web of presumed criminality, built as it is on the very associations and friendships that make up a life, nearly impossible to escape. We watch as the pleasures of summer-evening stoop-sitting are shattered by the arrival of a carful of cops looking to serve a warrant; we watch—and can’t help but be shocked—as teenagers teach their younger siblings and cousins how to run from the police (and, crucially, to keep away from friends and family so they can stay hidden); and we see, over and over, the relentless toll that the presumption of criminality takes on families—and futures.
While not denying the problems of the drug trade, and the violence that often accompanies it, through her gripping accounts of daily life in the forgotten neighborhoods of America's cities, Goffman makes it impossible for us to ignore the very real human costs of our failed response—the blighting of entire neighborhoods, and the needless sacrifice of whole generations.

处在风口浪尖的作品，读完不禁拿她跟Kimberly对比：一个出身优渥白人女性vs.一个工人家庭长女亚裔。读后者的notes和全书有一种soulness:那种世俗化的“烟火气”。她也许是充满争议的社会学家，却是无可置疑的优秀民族志学者；而前者则更像小说，忍不住有一种data are too good to be true怀疑。至于notes里的父亲和田野反思总觉得差那么一点点火候。AG someho...处在风口浪尖的作品，读完不禁拿她跟Kimberly对比：一个出身优渥白人女性vs.一个工人家庭长女亚裔。读后者的notes和全书有一种soulness:那种世俗化的“烟火气”。她也许是充满争议的社会学家，却是无可置疑的优秀民族志学者；而前者则更像小说，忍不住有一种data are too good to be true怀疑。至于notes里的父亲和田野反思总觉得差那么一点点火候。AG somehow "doomed" to be sociologist based on her family，but she is not a good ethnographer. 换言之，用导师的话说，不够“痛”的研究做出来就是无聊。(展开)

核心观点是旨在维护社会治安的警察/法律惩戒制度对贫穷黑人社区的严格管控事与愿违，它们实际上由于改变了整个社区形态/人际关系而催生了新犯罪、暴力或其他问题。受到影响的不只目标群体“年轻黑人男性”，还包括他们的家人朋友和社区之人。然而作为学术作品写得太散，在社区现状形成原因中几乎只强调描述了警察/执法人员的作用（这是最让我难以接受的，而且单一的视角已经决定了这本书的上限），大部分篇章只涉及和自己关系最... 核心观点是旨在维护社会治安的警察/法律惩戒制度对贫穷黑人社区的严格管控事与愿违，它们实际上由于改变了整个社区形态/人际关系而催生了新犯罪、暴力或其他问题。受到影响的不只目标群体“年轻黑人男性”，还包括他们的家人朋友和社区之人。然而作为学术作品写得太散，在社区现状形成原因中几乎只强调描述了警察/执法人员的作用（这是最让我难以接受的，而且单一的视角已经决定了这本书的上限），大部分篇章只涉及和自己关系最近的一些人导致无法全面呈现出真正的社区也无法在社区内部进行对比。最后那个关于方法论的附录给人的感觉还是洋洋洒洒写了一堆故事和情感，但最关键的关于方法、身份、认知视角、获取材料的真实性/有效性之间的关系却都一笔带过，深入不下去。而研究伦理以及大家怀疑的材料真实性，相比于上面这些确凿的缺点其实只是小儿科 (展开)
