In Search Of Respect In Search of Respect-Part II A Critical Analysis It appears that the primary theoretical orientation used in Bourgois book is based on cultural production theory and also draws on feminism. Or put in his own words, he seeks to “ confront the contradictions of the politics of representation of social marginalization in the United States by presenting brutal events, uncensored as I experienced them, or as they were narrated to me, by the perpetrators themselves. In the process, I have tried to build an alternative, critical understanding of the U.S. inner city by organizing my central arguments, and by presenting the lives and conversations of the crack dealers, in a manner that emphasizes the interface between structural oppression and individual action. Building on the analytic framework of cultural production theory and drawing from feminism….” In other words, Bourgois attempts to demonstrate how the culture of the crack dealers and those surrounding these individuals is developed by their own individual action and also by society at large, which has sought to disenfranchise these individuals through the political and economic practices. One of the primary issues that I believe Bourgois work raises, is the method of study that is applied in the study of society, bourgois, work, issues, individuals, book, words, while, study, poor, own, even, ethnographer, culture, been, through, think, theory, technique, sometime, social, seems, reporting, relationships, raises, production, primary, presenting, point, marginalization, made, lot, large, instead, individual, however
