Fallen Stars --Conclusion --Notes --IndexRandol Contreras came of age in the South Bronx during the 1980's, 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 insider's look at the workings of a group of Dominican drug robbers. Known on the streets as "Stickup Kids," 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 robbery's 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.Race, drugs, violence, and the American dreamYouthDrug useNew York (State)New YorkDrug dealersNew York (State)New YorkCocaine abuseNew York (State)New YorkCities and townsNew York (State)New York1980s new york.aids crisis.crack-cocaine.drug dealers.gang violence.gay activist.gay culture.gay rights.lgbt history.lgbtqia.neighborhood friends.participant observer.political activism.social awareness.sociologist.sociology.south bronx.violence.YouthDrug useDrug dealersCocaine abuseCities and towns363.4509747/275Contreras Randol1971-1465570MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785941803321The stickup kids3675666UNINA05153nam 22006133u 450 991079105710332120221214223026.01-4529-4147-5(CKB)2550000001272805(EBL)1673357(SSID)ssj0001181370(PQKBManifestationID)11681681(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001181370(PQKBWorkID)11142165(PQKB)11468194(MiAaPQ)EBC1673357(EXLCZ)99255000000127280520140421d2014|||| uy eengur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Essential Ellen WillisMinneapolis University of Minnesota Press20141 online resource (545 pages)Description based upon print version of record.0-8166-8121-X 1-306-63678-7 Cover; CONTENTS; ACKNOWLEDGMENTS; INTRODUCTION: TRANSCENDENCE; The Sixties Up from Radicalism; INTRODUCTION; Up from Radicalism: A Feminist Journal (US Magazine, 1969); Dylan (Cheetah, 1967); The Cultural Revolution Saved from Drowning (The New Yorker, September 1969); Women and the Myth of Consumerism (Ramparts, 1970); Talk of the Town: Hearing (The New Yorker, February 1969); The Seventies Exile on Main Street; INTRODUCTION; Beginning to See the Light (Village Voice, 1977); Janis Joplin (The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock 'n' Roll, 1980)Classical and Baroque Sex in Everyday Life (Village Voice, May 1979)Memoirs of a Non-Prom Queen (Rolling Stone, August 1976); The Trial of Arline Hunt (Rolling Stone, 1975); Abortion: Is a Woman a Person?

In the years that followed, Willis's daring insights went beyond popular music, taking on such issues as pornography, religion, feminism, war, and drugs. The Essential Ellen Willis gathers writings that span forty years and are both deeply engaged with the times in which they were first published and yet remain fresh and relevant amid today's seemingly intractable political and cultural bAmerican essaysSocial science -- Popular cultureSocial science -- Women's studiesAmerican essaysAmerican essays.Social science -- Popular culture.Social science -- Women's studies.American essays081Willis Ellen1561163Willis Aronowitz Nona1572363AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910791057103321The Essential Ellen Willis3847244UNINA02950nam 2200433 450 991083096100332120230629214832.01-119-13139-11-119-36568-61-119-13138-3(MiAaPQ)EBC6869750(Au-PeEL)EBL6869750(CKB)20974260300041(EXLCZ)992097426030004120220211d2022 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierErgonomics in the dental office /Susan S.
