Street-Gang and Tribal-Warrior Autobiographies (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Street-Gang and Tribal-Warrior Autobiographies is a study of the autobiographies of tribal-warrior cultures in North America, the Amazon, the Orinoco Basin, the highlands of Luzon, the island of Alor - of headhunters, women, Apaches, New Guinea big men and a Yanomami captive. The book also discusses tribal-warrior autobiographies closer to home: Colton Simpson's Inside the Crips, Mona Ruiz's Two Badges, Nathan McCall's Makes Me Wanna Holler and Sanyika Shakur's Monster, autobiographies that remember gangbanging at a time when there were close to 500 gang-related homicides a year in Los Angeles-a time when gangbangers were so alienated from the larger society that they reinvented something very similar to the tribal-warrior cultures right in the asphalt heart of American cities. Grisly, probing and resonant with the voices of generations of fighters, Street-Gang and Tribal-Warrior Autobiographies is an unsettling work of cross-disciplinary scholarship.
