Document Summary
There is a quiz next week (wrapping up of book) Bourgois - 4 types of violence - see portal for definitions. These overlap and influence each other, and can generate other types of violence e. g. symbolic lead to intimate violence . El barrio is neglected by the order of the state. Picking up garbage / cleaning of the streets, fixing fire hydrants. Bourgois considered writing or not this section for several reasons. Cause the reader dismiss empathy that has been developed prior to this section. And reject them immediately after reading this section, and stereotype them again. He fear that people would stop identifying with them, and label them as sociopaths. And worried that they will be labelled as worthless. On the flip side - he worried that rape would be seen as too comprehensible, and logical, He was worried that he would become "sensitized" Seeing violence in every turn, he would be immune to it.
