Reviews on Ling Anthro in the US?

[Munoz, Kristine L]

Mendoza Denton's work is out as a book, 2008, Homegirls:  Language and cultural practice among Latina youth gangs.  Blackwell.

Michael Agar also has a book Dope double agent: The naked emperor on drugs, 2007, Lulu Press, which my graduate ethnography class loved.
