Book Synopsis The Stickup Kids by : Randol Contreras
Download or read book The Stickup Kids written by Randol Contreras and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Randol Contreras came of age in the South Bronx during the 1980s, a time when the community was devastated by cuts in social services, a rise in arson and abandonment, and the rise of crack-cocaine. For this riveting book, he returns to the South Bronx with a sociological eye and provides an unprecedented insiderÕs look at the workings of a group of Dominican drug robbers. Known on the streets as ÒStickup Kids,Ó these men raided and brutally tortured drug dealers storing large amounts of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, and cash. As a participant observer, Randol Contreras offers both a personal and theoretical account for the rise of the Stickup Kids and their violence. He mainly focuses on the lives of neighborhood friends, who went from being crack dealers to drug robbers once their lucrative crack market opportunities disappeared. The result is a stunning, vivid, on-the-ground ethnographic description of a drug robberyÕs violence, the drug market high life, the criminal life course, and the eventual pain and suffering experienced by the casualties of the Crack Era. Provocative and eye-opening, The Stickup Kids urges us to explore the ravages of the drug trade through weaving history, biography, social structure, and drug market forces. It offers a revelatory explanation for drug market violence by masterfully uncovering the hidden social forces that produce violent and self-destructive individuals. Part memoir, part penetrating analysis, this book is engaging, personal, deeply informed, and entirely absorbing.

But when they become fed up with being misunderstood and mistreated, they decide that payback is in order. One day they do the unthinkable - they mask up and kidnap a fellow student and tormentor and “stick him up”. They record the stick up and threaten exposure if he ever speaks about it. After this successful stick up, they become greedy and decide to throw in getting some free booty and loot. In their last stick up involving a local high school drug dealer, the boys hit a few snags and things come to a nasty head. Did they do one stick up too many or will they find a way out and ride off into the sunset? Stick-Up Boys is about taking revenge into your own hands and the consequences that come with it.

Download or read book Trajectories written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-02-11 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trajectories: The Educational and Social Mobility of Educators from the Poor and Working Class, is a collection of mobility narratives of critical scholars in education from poor and working-class backgrounds. While Americans have long held deep-seated cultural beliefs in the capacity of schooling to level unequal playing fields, there has been little research on the psycho-social processes of social and educational mobility in the United States. Rising Up employs narrative research methodologies to interrogate the experiences of class border-crossing via success in school. This volume addresses two discourses within education: First, the experiences of those who have crossed class boundaries contribute to a deeper understanding of how social class functions in the United States. The narratives compiled in this volume explore class within the lives of young people on the margins, as identities, ambition and achievement are constructed and negotiated in school. More specifically, the volume suggests new directions for policy and practice to counteract classism in schools and in the broader culture. As they write of the constraints that they circumvented to succeed against the odds, these authors complicate notions of opportunity as the inevitable reward for high achievement. As they write of agency and tenacity, they will illuminate cultural strengths that likely were invisible to teachers and peers. As critical scholars of education, the contributors to this volume speak specifically to ways in which teacher education can and should address issues of class.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Stick” is the best wide receiver in the history of his high school—the football seems magnetically drawn to his hands, hence his nickname. Preston is an outcast, and his pipsqueak stature and nerdy social status couldn’t be further from a star athlete’s. Stick puts on his football costume every week to make others—his teammates, his dad, everyone but himself—happy, but he’s fallen out of love with the sport and feels that he’s lost control of his future. Preston puts on his homemade superhero costume every night to help others, too: to avenge his father’s murder, he’s determined to right the wrongs he sees in his neighborhood and regain control of the flawed world he sees around him. A twist of fate brings this unlikely pair together in a friendship that is as odd as it is true. Each can see the other better than he can see himself, and in these unexpected reflections lies a chance for mutual redemption.

Book Synopsis Schooling in the Light of Popular Culture by : Paul Farber
Download or read book Schooling in the Light of Popular Culture written by Paul Farber and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1994-06-28 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many factors contribute to the way individuals come to an understanding of what schooling is about and where it might be headed. This book explores the role of popular culture in that process. The authors illustrate how powerful and suggestive images and ideas about teachers, learning, and other aspects of schooling are constructed in the "texts" of various modes of popular culture. As a basis for further inquiry, the book describes important tendencies and patterns in the representation of aspects of schooling. It also provides examples of analytical approaches and strategies for thinking about the significance of patterns with respect to questions of meaning, power, and pedagogy in schooling practices. At the interface of educational and cultural studies, the book encourages inquiry into mainstream popular culture, and explores how this culture contributes to forms of discourse about the nature and direction of schooling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Runner-up: TES/NASEN Book Awards (Books for Teaching and Learning Category) 2005 'Excellent: it meets a real need on the part of learning mentors going into schools, who can be expected to sort out problems that staff with years of experience can't sort out and to act as a sponge for all sorts of trauma and emotion' 'This is something schools can keep on hand: not a complete training package, but useful." "The contacts sections, for example the one on bereavement, are invaluable: learning mentors are expected to know a bit about everything' - comments from the TES/NASEN book awards panel 'This practical resource, based on development work in a large high school, covers a wide range of topics and provides an excellent 'starter pack' for new mentors and anyone involved in their induction' - SENCO Update `This book landed on my desk this morning and I just had to include it! It is aimed at LMs, TAs and teachers and is a really useful resource. It comes with a CD ROM (Adobe Acrobat needed) and is part of Lucky Duck Publications, which is well-known for producing quality resources in the field of emotional literacy. There are thirteen chapters on: Emotional Intelligence, Self-Esteem, Anger Management, Bereavement, Self-harm, Drug Awareness, Bullying, Behaviour Change, Transition, Attendance, School Refusal and Punctuality, Revisions and Friendship. Many of you will recognise these themes as areas in which you work and may already have resources for these areas but these are conveniently put together in one book. It is aimed at pupils at the upper end of KS2 up to KS4. Each chapter contains information around each topic, plus photocopiable worksheets such as emotions cards, stories, ideas for games and activities and links to websites. Most of these can be adapted to suit the needs of different schools and to facilitate working within the school's policies.

In addition they include support strategies, interventions and some copiable resources based on their own experiences and good practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I Had a Dream: The New York City Breakers Story' is a testament to the indomitable spirit of a mystery Breakdance group of mixed ethnic races. They courageously relocated from Central America, seeking a chance to live a peaceful life. Their journey was fraught with surviving gangs, corruption, extortion, and political street fights on the West Side of Manhattan off San Juan Hill near Hell's Kitchen. Despite these challenges, they navigated through dangerous areas and abandoned buildings, displaced families, and new housing laws abolishing rent control into segregated housing projects throughout New York City. Nevertheless, they consciously campaigned for their civil rights and created platforms with community leaders and churches such as 'The Ghetto Brothers.' Peace treaties were made with other ethnic groups and gangs in the Bronx. It started Hip Hop, and the racial conflicts were finally over. After reconstruction, the community created socialist activities and political parties and began breakdancing in theaters, social venues, nightclubs, and dance competitions. Their performances, which showcased a unique blend of [specific style or technique], were featured in news articles leading to 'The Break' on 'That's Incredible,' the Merv Griffin talk show, and the motion picture 'Beat Street' and more. They performed for U.S. Presidents, Queens, and Dukes, demonstrating an extension of their spiritual, mystical- Sundance's.
