This is the first book dedicated to Australian youth gangs,
exploring the subtleties and nuances of street life for young men
and their quest for social respect. It focuses specifically on
group violence and the ways in which the 'gang' provides a forum
for the expression of this violence. White argues that what happens
on the street demands a holistic analysis which takes into account
the interrelationships between class circumstance, masculinity,
race and ethnicity. Gangs and gang violence are thus 'made' in the
crucible of specific histories, specific neighbourhoods and
specific social contexts. Based upon many years of research, and
drawing upon the theoretical insights of international literature
in this area, this book provides a sustained analysis and portrayal
of youth violence and youth gangs - one that includes and
highlights the voices and viewpoints of the young people
themselves.
