In Streetsmart Schoolsmart, two respected scholars present original
research on youth gangs and school success to explain why some boys
become disengaged and join gangs while others do not. Chapters
vividly describe how urban boys from different ethnic backgrounds
(Asian, African American, and Latino) approach schooling and
identify the sociocultural factors that affect their choices. The
authors concentrate on three areas: (1) the role of marginalised
communities in the formation of urban gang youth, (2) the role of
community-based organisations in reengaging urban youth, and (3)
the role of schools in creating opportunities for urban boys to
succeed despite disparities in their economic and social
circumstances. Streetsmart Schoolsmart points the way toward
important changes that can break the cycle of poverty in American
neighbourhoods and society. It is essential reading for educators
and all professionals working with urban youth, and anyone
concerned with the success of young boys.
