A study of football violence, 'We Hate Humans' gives voice to the
denizens of the terraces. It follows 7 years of research into the
violent 'ends' of Britain's football grounds and, through the
speech of the fans themselves, chronicles a subculture of
disaffected young men, their backgrounds and their reasons for
fighting.
Once a group of young people (reformed street robbers) had a
vision. To transform their poor divided community. But the vision
was tarnished by harsh reality, violent feuds and factional strife,
corrupt and ineffective leaders, and youths involved in networks of
criminality.
LTarnished Vision is the story of the rise and fall of a utopian
community project told against a background of crime and
delinquency in a troubled neighbourhood. This vivid and authentic
account of life in Satellite City' is set in the 1980s, a decade
when the promises of the enterprise culture failed to deliver, and
the conditions were created for a generation hooked on crime.
Tarnished Vision depicts the 1980s inner city cycle of social
tragedy followed by inept societal response, followed by social
tragedy. But this is not only a story for the 1980s. The message is
that programmes to save the inner cities, however well-resoourced,
cannot afford to ignore the destructive frustrations of urban male
youths wh are involved in crime. Community action programmes can be
no more than window dressing to camouflage these realities.
