Hoover Crips is the product of field interviews with Crip gang members in South Central Los Angeles, California. Older gang members offer a dramatic portrayal of their life experiences within a social world beset by gangster politics.

The main feature of the book is its insider's view of gangs. Unique information gathered by Professor Steven R. Cureton includes: · the origins and current state of the Hoover community, gang, and residents · insight into the subculture of gang membership, reputation building, and hustling drugs, guns, and people for survival · the balance between humanity, civility, peace, and war in gang life · and new discoveries relative to Black residency in a gang-dominated environment. The study concludes with a "where they are now" for the participants in the interviews. This book is recommended for courses in deviance, juvenile delinquency, criminology, cultural deviance, urban communities/sociology of communities, race in America, Black experiences, race relations, race and ethnic relations, qualitative research methodology, and ethnographic research.
