Opis

This title was first published in 2001: Featuring original research concerning young African-Caribbeans in Birmingham, this book addresses complex issues of urban violence and insecurity, racism and discrimination, alienation, resistance and social networks. Exploring both the perceived and personally experienced position of young people who are simultaneously presumed to be victims and perpetrators of violence, it sheds important new light upon processes of group identification and action.
