Body & Soul: Notebooks of an Apprentice Boxer by Loïc Wacquant
2.0
2007 review:
This is an ethnography I had to read for my Anthropology class. It's a French man who goes into a boxing gym in a "black ghetto" to do his research. There are parts that are interesting, and the idea is very interesting-but the author uses about 10 words for every one he should and can't say anything directly. It seems if he could be more concise, the book could've been 2/3rds shorter and more enjoyable.
