An examination of the cultural values of working class Chicana
adolescents with an emphasis on the social, political, and economic
factors that shape these cultural values. This book addresses a gap
in the literature on youth gangs and youth culture by examining the
motivations and issues of gang affiliation, teen pregnancy, and
academic failure from the point-of-view of teenage girls.
Furthermore, the book emphasizes female participation in gangs as
well as the impact that gangs have on non- participating
adolescents. The author also discusses how current public policy is
based on erroneous assumptions associated with the culture of
poverty model. This book attempts to explain what appears to be
self-defeating behavior of many Chicana adolescents. It explores
the logic underlying their life choices and examines the connection
between these choices and larger social processes. This book will
be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students, as well as
faculty in ethnic studies, multicultural studies, Hispanic Studies,
Sociology, and Women's Studies. In addition social service
professionals and related professionals will find it helpful.
