Kurzfassung:
This title examines the causes, forms, and experiences of urban violence in the Americas. It does so through a series of theoretically informed ethnographic analyses of the role that violence plays in the lives of the urban poor in South, Central, and North America. It pays particular attention to the role gangs, illicit drugs, and state responses to drug-dealing play in sky-rocketing levels of violence, and to the responses ravaged communities devise to deal with them.
