"In a city that social scientists feel we know well, "Mean Streets" provides new and exciting insights into the spatial dimensions of urban life. Not afraid to talk about both attraction and repulsion, Diamond provocatively unearths the critical role of youths--ages 15 to 25--in leading their wider communities in the negotiation of race."--George Sanchez, author of "Becoming Mexican American: Ethnicity, Culture, and Identity in Chicano Los Angeles 1900-1945" "In "Mean Streets," Andrew Diamond brilliantly bridges social, political, and cultural history. His deeply researched account of Chicago's black, white, and Latino youth subcultures offers a fresh perspective on the entangled histories of identity, power, and place. This is a first-rate book."--Thomas J. Sugrue, author of "Sweet Land of Liberty: The Forgotten Struggle for Civil Rights in the North." "This excellent social history of Chicago's youth gangs not only demonstrates their centrality to the vaunted community and turf consciousness of the city's neighborhoods; it also explains the widespread ethnic and racial conflict that has characterized the city for most of the twentieth century. Diamond accomplishes this with a remarkable amount of empirical research on the gritty streets, playgrounds and parks, dance halls, 'can houses' (brothels), and industrial wastelands in, between, and around these neighborhoods."--James R. Barrett, author of "Work and Community in 'The Jungle': Chicago's Packing House Workers, 1894-1922."
