Question

In Bourgois and Schonberg's article "Intimate Apartheid and Drug Consumption Among Racialized Bodies" (CA 5.3), what is the difference between outlaw and outcast habitus? How are they produced?

Answer 1

Answer&Explanation:

An outlaw is someone who has done criminal activities and as a result has become a fugitive but still they are accepted within their society whilst an Outcast Habitus is someone who had been banished from their society and they are no longer seen as member of that society.

An outcast has been completely rejected even from their homes or in any exclusion and no one even pays attention to them anymore this is the person who has done something that is considered to be an abomination within society and has offended the whole community. Outlaw has committed many criminal activities that even the kaw doesn't protect them anymore because they have run away from the law several times so the law has withdrawn their right to protect this person even the society can kill this perosn
