Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on the social networks found on the streets of an American city - St. Louis, Missouri - this book provides one of the most detailed descriptions yet of the forms masculinity takes in disadvantages communities in the United States. It establishes how street based gender identity motivated and guided men through violent encounters, exploring how men's relationships with women and their families instigated violence.
