Previously overlooked in domestic violence and abuse policy and practice, Jade Levell offers radical insights into the lives of young boys in DVA-affected households.

Showing how boys in this context navigate their journey to manhood, including gang involvement, the book makes practice recommendations for supporting these 'hidden victims'.

Originaires des prisons de Porto Rico, les Ñetas se sont développés sur la côte est des États-Unis à partir de la fin des années 1980. À l'heure de la « guerre contre la drogue », ils sont l'un des principaux gangs de New York, impliqués dans les conflits de territoire qui déchirent la ville. Le groupe s'étend ensuite, au tournant des années 2000, en Amérique Latine et en Europe. Dans le même temps, au risque de divisions intestines, La Asociación (comme l'appellent aussi ses membres) entreprend une « pacification » interne pour se concevoir avant tout comme un mouvement de lutte œuvrant pour l'amélioration du sort des opprimés. Partagée entre New York, Guayaquil et Barcelone, cette enquête interroge la manière dont un tel collectif se construit et se transforme. Par-delà l'imaginaire cinématographique, télévisuel ou musical attaché aux gangs, elle met en lumière son fonctionnement au quotidien : sa structuration, les rapports de pouvoir et les tensions qui le traversent, ses lois et rituels propres, ses différentes façons de s'ancrer dans l'espace ou de dire son histoire, ses ambitions spirituelles, sociales et politiques, son rapport à l'écrit ou à la violence. En retraçant le parcours de ses membres, en revenant sur la relation qui se tisse entre l'anthropologue et les Ñetas, cette ethnographie vivante et sensible interroge ce qu'est un gang au-delà du crime ; elle montre les ressources qu'il peut offrir à une population bloquée dans les marges d'un capitalisme prédateur.

"Near sleepy Hanska Slough, on September 21, 1876, Norwegian teen Asle Sorbel made a daring "Paul Revere ride" into Madelia, Minnesota. His efforts, and those of the Madelia Magnificent Seven, led to the capture of the Younger brothers of the Jesse James-Younger Gang. The gang's botched Northfield bank raid and infamous Madelia shootout were well reported. But Asle's story was lost to history. Friends of the outlaws planned reprisals. Asle changed his name, his persona and his location. He kept his mouth shut. In 1883, he quietly reestablished himself in Dakota Territory. As years passed, he became the premier horse doctor in the Webster, South Dakota area, all the while haunted by vigilant fear. Author Arley K. Fadness uncovers the lost secrets and remarkable life of valiant Asle Oscar Sorbel" -- Page [4] cover.

"Researchers have tried to understand the enduring relationship between men and violence for years. It is depressing! Why are men disposed to violence? Against one another, women or children? In this book, King sheds new and important light on such questions. Raised in a resource-poor urban area and having lost a teenage friend through knife crime, King explores how young Black men in his childhood community construct and perform masculinity. While analytical light is shone powerfully on these questions, King leaves us with hope: practitioners working with at-risk young men offer alternative, non-violent role models." -Robert Morrell, Director of New Generation of Academics Programme, University of Cape Town, South Africa "This splendid book makes a salient contribution to our theoretical and empirical knowledge about young Black street masculinities and their relation to violent crime. Concentrating on a disadvantaged inner-city housing estate, King's ethnographic data demonstrates the fluidity of masculine practices-from caring and sensitivity to toughness and violence. This work is both a good read and good scholarship-I highly recommend it!" -James W. Messerschmidt, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus, Sociology, University of Southern Maine, USA This book describes how young Black men on a disadvantaged housing estate in London navigate the estate's expectations for their behaviour as they operate within a street code that endorses violence, knife-carrying and challenging masculinity. This street code informs the men's masculine identities by promoting values of misogyny, violence and the possession of expensive material objects while subduing any performance or features deemed as weak or feminine. Chapters detail the daily pressure on young men to gain respect and perform the estate's street code while also providing examples of young men who have escaped or rejected its influence. King also outlines how youth workers can support those trapped by the estate's street code by embodying personalised or caring masculinity features that seek to transform the dominant masculinity. Brendan King earned his doctorate at the Institute of Education at University College London, UK. He has held multiple positions working with vulnerable and at-risk youth. His research interests include youth, gender and masculinity, particularly among inner-city communities. .
