Searches the origin of racial hatred, focusing on community.,

This review is from: Race In The Hood: Conflict and Violence among Urban Youth (Paperback)
Pinderhughes uses his survey of teen-aged kids in New York City to describe and explain racial violence. His main theme suggests that the communities' attitudes shape the individuals' attitudes and beliefs. The most compelling evidence he uses are words straight from the youths' mouths. It is a well organized , easy to understand book.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Race In The Hood: Conflict and Violence among Urban Youth (Paperback)
This book, both well written and extremely thought provoking, is about an issue too often tacitly ignored in our country - the role of racial identity in adolescent development. Dr. Pinderhughes provides a vivid description of what life is like for "at risk" youth in different neighborhoods of the Big Apple. He attempts to address the underlying structural and cultural forces that reproduce ethnic tension across generations in different communities. In addition to providing thoughtful sociological analysis of youth violence, the book is wonderfully informative about the social fabric of New York. Anyone who is interested in better understanding what "race" truly means in America should read this book.
