In The Poverty of the Ethnography of Poverty, Loïc Wacquant dissects how sociologists who carry out field studies of the poor write about race, class, and morality in the city's underbelly; the blinders and biases that affect their research and how to overcome them; and how to become aware of these biases and develop a better meshing of theory and research.
