Important addition to the literature on street organizations,
By
This review is from: The Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation: Street Politics and the Transformation of a New York City Gang (Hardcover)
Few books are currently available on street organizations (commonly referred to by sociologists, anthropologists and criminologists as "gangs") that present both an insider perspective and outsider analysis, and place these social formations into the context of both the contemporary and historical variables that cause their formation, and direct their transformation into radical political organizations.Without romanticizing the negative elements of the gang phenomena, this study offers a counter-perspective to the criminological canon, and challenges the theoretical assumptions proffered in all but a few standard texts on gang-behavior. A must read for those interested in the underclass debates, Latino/a youth culture, and grass roots social movements. |
