"Goldstein takes us right to where anthropology should be: into the blood, sweat, tears of shantytown life. "Laughter Out of Place tells the story of a Brazilian family on the edge of survival where women and children struggle, not just to stay alive, but also for joy in the face of poverty, men, and mutual betrayal."--Philippe Bourgois, author of "In Search of Respect: Selling Crack in El Barrio
"A stunning ethnographic achievement that should become an urban anthropological classic. Goldstein brings us close to women who under extraordinary circumstances of poverty use humor to reveal the penetrating truth of their relationship to structures of power and the ironies of their raced, classed, and gendered lives. Superb and engaging ethnographic analysis is framed by sophisticated social theory and a comprehensive treatment of the literature on contemporary Brazilian society."--Judith Goode, co-editor of "The New Poverty Studies: The Ethnography of Power, Politics and Impoverished People in the United States
