This book provides a concise and engaging examination of the
subculture of the Crips and Bloods-the notorious street gangs that
started in Los Angeles, but have now spread throughout the United
States. Despite the dangers and harsh realities intrinsic to street
life and criminal activity, the no-holds-barred lifestyle of gangs
continues to interest mainstream America. This provocative book
provides an insider's look into the subculture of two of the most
notorious street gangs-the Crips and the Bloods. Crips and Bloods:
A Guide to an American Subculture traces the evolution of the two
gangs, covering their origins in South Central Los Angeles to the
organizations' current presence throughout the United States. The
author analyzes the ways in which the gang subculture is created,
promoted, and perpetuated; shows how the groups currently recruit
their members; and explores the ways Crip and Blood culture has
expanded beyond the gangs into the larger mainstream society.
Includes a timeline of significant events related to the
counterculture Offers a bibliography of print and non-print
resources for student research Describes the symbols, objects,
words, colors, and images used to represent the gangs Provides a
comprehensive glossary of street literacy terms
