Falling Back

Incarceration and Transitions to Adulthood among Urban Youth

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Documents the transition to adulthood for a particularly vulnerable population: young inner-city men of colour who have, by the age of eighteen, already been imprisoned. How 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.
