Jamie J. Fader documents the transition to adulthood for a
particularly vulnerable population: young inner-city men of color
who have, by the age of eighteen, already been imprisoned. How, she
asks, do such precariously situated youth become adult men? What
are the sources of change in their lives? Falling Back is based on
over three years of ethnographic research with black and Latino
males on the cusp of adulthood and incarcerated at a rural reform
school designed to address "criminal thinking errors" among
juvenile drug offenders. Fader observed these young men as they
transitioned back to their urban Philadelphia neighborhoods,
resuming their daily lives and struggling to adopt adult masculine
roles. This in-depth ethnographic approach allowed her to portray
the complexities of human decision-making as these men strove to
"fall back," or avoid reoffending, and become productive adults.
Her work makes a unique contribution to sociological understandings
of the transitions to adulthood, urban social inequality, prisoner
reentry, and desistance from offending.
