A new book has been published detailing the lives of a group of adolescents in Detroit caught in the drug game. It's called Getting Ghost and is available courtesy of The New Press. Phillipe Bourgois says, "This sensitive and brave book takes readers into the tragedy of deindustrialization and ethnic discrimination in America to reveal the lives of those trapped in the illegal drug economy. Bergmann forces us to face the contradictions of drugs, discrimination, and poverty in our heartland.".
Great reading, especially coupled with Sugrue
