Gangsters Without Borders: An Ethnography of a Salvadoran Street Gang (Issues of Globalization: Case Studies in Contemporary Anthropology)
"Gangsters Without Bordersgives a perspective and analysis not found in other studies. Not only is this happening now, it is a subculture within our society that impacts the lives of students who know little about it."--Vicki Root-Wadja,College of du Page"The insider view of gang life presented here is a highly valuable contribution. The focus on gender roles in gangs is particularly insightful. The text does an excellent job of providing a balanced discussion that examines the history of past studies of gang life along with detailed personal and ethnographic discussions that bring these social dynamics to life."--Christopher Fennell,University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign"An excellent blend of history, literature, poetry, research from numerous disciplines, and the author's own observational data,Gangsters Without Bordershelps us understand the larger context that contributed to the emergence of MS-13."--Dana Peterson,University at Albany, State University of NewYork
