Recenzje

This thoughtful, intensive ethnography of a Harlem neighborhood moves well beyond traditional perspectives on urban violence, considering the ways that new technologies and social media have transformed how youth interact and compete, as well as help each other escape from cycles of violence. With this nuanced portrayal of youth culture on- and off-line, The Digital Street promises to take urban ethnography into the twenty-first century.
