Exploring Urban Youth Culture Outside of the Gang Paradigm
Exploring Urban Youth Culture Outside of the Gang Paradigm delves into the intricate world of 'on-road'βa complex term used by young people to describe street-based subculture and a general way of being. Featuring the voices of young people themselves, this collection explores how race, class, and gender dynamics shape this vibrant aspect of youth culture.
While young people on-road often face criminalisation due to interlocking structural inequalities, this book looks beyond superficial concerns about gangs. It presents empirical research from scholars and activists who engage with and study the social lives of young people. The book addresses the concerns of practitioners, policymakers, and scholars by analysing the aspects and misinterpretations of the shifting realities of young people's urban life.
