作者自詡為insider的一部社會學紀實作品。A work with emotionally beautiful tone,但該運用sociological imagination的時候(如第一章)也毫不含糊, 非常清晰的講述瞭社會大背景如何導緻瞭兩代drug epidemics的興衰,也將Katz和C.Wright Mills的理論作瞭對比。個人還是非常喜歡這種hybrid的風格的。
評分作者不大紮實的理論功底使得時而插入的分析稍顯混亂,社會學傢當把握民族誌寫作風格,不過讀到結尾時真心被書中的人物感動瞭,尤其是Gus這個Robber Elites的沒落以及Pablo看似愚蠢的賺錢計劃。毒販被汙名化後重視身份,他們的思考、行為已經被大時代/小監獄裏那些努力就能成功、貪婪是對的給局限瞭。“男權”代錶著強權、財、性、暴力,刺激著他們的神經情感、鼓舞著他們不能迴頭。當政客多數為政治立場而行事時,社會學傢所關注的是少數群體的低收入(資本傢反復壓榨)、對毒品犯罪過度監管打擊後的階級衝突、資本主義金錢至上的觀念(錯誤的文化資本)對人的洗腦。推薦作者開篇談作為局內人被現狀同化、冷漠,甚至掙紮於迴答自己是否會淪落像朋友一樣的人,從而反思方法論、迴應即不當牛仔也不切入犯罪也不道德平凡,很齣色M
評分在correctional center和六位incarcerated men一起閱讀瞭這本書的introduction。至今都記憶猶新他們對於C. Wright Mills社會學想象力的贊許(或者說I wish I had known this term earlier的唏噓)。他們對於Jack Katz的理論也提齣極其犀利的批判,他們問我到底是第一次為瞭尋找pleasure而犯罪;還是在第一次的犯罪過程中,體會到瞭sensual的滿足感,之後繼續尋找...... 閱讀的過程中,每一章節都讓我欲罷不能。裏麵對於種族和男權的刻畫極其到位。我也很深有感觸作者在Introduction裏麵提及的desensitaization和triple representational dilemma!

Randol Contreras came of age in the South Bronx during the 1980s, a time when the community was devastated by cuts in social services, a rise in arson and abandonment, and the rise of crack-cocaine. For this riveting book, he returns to the South Bronx with a sociological eye and provides an unprecedented insider's look at the workings of a group of Dominican drug robbers. Known on the streets as "Stickup Kids", these men raided and brutally tortured drug dealers storing large amounts of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and cash. As a participant observer, Randol Contreras offers both a personal and theoretical account for the rise of the Stickup Kids and their violence. He mainly focuses on the lives of neighborhood friends, who went from being crack dealers to drug robbers once their lucrative crack market opportunities disappeared. The result is a stunning, vivid, on-the-ground ethnographic description of a drug robbery's violence, the drug market high life, the criminal life course, and the eventual pain and suffering experienced by the casualties of the Crack Era. Provocative and eye-opening, "The Stickup Kids" urges us to explore the ravages of the drug trade through weaving history, biography, social structure, and drug market forces. It offers a revelatory explanation for drug market violence by masterfully uncovering the hidden social forces that produce violent and self-destructive individuals. Part memoir, part penetrating analysis, this book is engaging, personal, deeply informed, and entirely absorbing.
