It is one of those nights in a pub; open mic-session, having a few pints and Tom meets Evan Beltran who is causing a stir as The Strangest. Being on the same wavelength doesn't even closely describe what happens next because both of them are the perfect match. They share the same heroes from the cultural history and they have the same ambitions. The Mexican guitarist and the half British/half German songwriter decide to join forces that same night. Suddenly, it all falls into place: Tom has the

From a troubled youth navigating the mean streets of the South Bronx to an inspiring educational activist who evokes praise from the likes of President Barack Obama, Geoffrey Canada has made a remarkable personal journey that cemented his dedication to underserved youth. His award-winning work was featured in Davis Guggenheim’s documentary Waiting for “Superman,” and he has been hailed by media, activists, teachers, and national leaders. Michelle Obama called him “one of my heroes,” and Oprah Winfrey refers to him as “an angel from God.” Here, Canada draws on his years of work with inner-city youth and on his own turbulent boyhood to offer a moving and revelatory look at the little-understood emotional lives of boys. And who better for this task than the man Elizabeth Mehren of the Los Angeles Times calls “one of this country’s leading advocates for youth.”

A compelling portrait of a group of boys as they navigate the complexities of being both American teenagers and good MuslimsThis book provides a uniquely personal look at the social worlds of a group of young male friends as they navigate the complexities of growing up Muslim in America. Drawing on three and a half years of intensive fieldwork in and around a large urban mosque, John O’Brien offers a compelling portrait of typical Muslim American teenage boys concerned with typical teenage issues―girlfriends, school, parents, being cool―yet who are also expected to be good, practicing Muslims who don’t date before marriage, who avoid vulgar popular culture, and who never miss their prayers.Many Americans unfamiliar with Islam or Muslims see young men like these as potential ISIS recruits. But neither militant Islamism nor Islamophobia is the main concern of these boys, who are focused instead on juggling the competing cultural demands that frame their everyday lives. O’Brien illuminates how they work together to manage their “culturally contested lives” through subtle and innovative strategies―such as listening to profane hip-hop music in acceptably “Islamic” ways, professing individualism to cast their participation in communal religious obligations as more acceptably American, dating young Muslim women in ambiguous ways that intentionally complicate adjudications of Islamic permissibility, and presenting a “low-key Islam” in public in order to project a Muslim identity without drawing unwanted attention.Closely following these boys as they move through their teen years together, Keeping It Halal sheds light on their strategic efforts to manage their day-to-day cultural dilemmas as they devise novel and dynamic modes of Muslim American identity in a new and changing America.

Honorable Mention, 2014 Eduardo Bonilla-Silva Outstanding Book Award presented by the Society for the Study of Social Problems2012 Best Book Award, Latino/a Sociology Section, presented by the American Sociological Association2012 Finalist, C. Wright Mills Book Award presented by the Study of Social ProblemsA classic ethnography that reveals how urban police criminalize black and Latino boysVictor Rios grew up in the ghetto of Oakland, California in the 1980s and 90s. A former gang member and juvenile delinquent, Rios managed to escape the bleak outcome of many of his friends and earned a PhD at Berkeley and returned to his hometown to study how inner city young Latino and African American boys develop their sense of self in the midst of crime and intense policing. Punished examines the difficult lives of these young men, who now face punitive policies in their schools, communities, and a world where they are constantly policed and stigmatized.Rios followed a group of forty delinquent Black and Latino boys for three years. These boys found themselves in a vicious cycle, caught in a spiral of punishment and incarceration as they were harassed, profiled, watched, and disciplined at young ages, even before they had committed any crimes, eventually leading many of them to fulfill the destiny expected of them. But beyond a fatalistic account of these marginalized young men, Rios finds that the very system that criminalizes them and limits their opportunities, sparks resistance and a raised consciousness that motivates some to transform their lives and become productive citizens. Ultimately, he argues that by understanding the lives of the young men who are criminalized and pipelined through the criminal justice system, we can begin to develop empathic solutions which support these young men in their development and to eliminate the culture of punishment that has become an overbearing part of their everyday lives.

Now available in the US: Tales of life in Old Shanghai abound: stories of the privileged, wealthy lives of the Westerners who settled there, or the upper class Chinese who were to later face reversals of fortune in the turmoil of the Cultural Revolution. But rarely do we hear the voices of the silent majority - the common citizens who struggled to eke out an existence in the slums of Shanghai, just blocks away from the glitter and glamour that fills the pages of most accounts of pre-Liberation Shanghai. The poor of the era have found a voice in George Wang. In his book _Shanghai Boy, Shanghai Girl: Lives in Parallel, _co-written with his British wife Betty Barr, Wang tells his family's story, from his birth in 1927 until the day Communist soldiers marched into his city and quietly took possession. The reader certainly gets a feel for the outline of the historical events of the time - and Wang himself was there. But the real strength of this book is the unfolding story of a family who lived through those difficult times. In unsophisticated prose, Wang describes the streets of his rough working-class neighborhood in southern Shanghai. Boyhood games, pet crickets, and the smells of delicious street snacks fill the pages. His narrative reads like a man passing on his life, as if the reader is privy to the bedtime stories shared with his children. The voice gains confidence as Wang tells quietly and powerfully of the realities of the crushing poverty his family bore - poverty so overwhelming, so hopeless, as to leave a mother no choice but to either abandon her family or sell a beloved daughter. The author confesses to shedding tears as he writes of those dark days, and the reader cannot help but grieve along with him. No trace of whining or bitterness can be heard in this voice. Instead, what rings through it all is the deep dignity and strength of Wang's parents - and the sacrificial love that saw this family through tough times.
