These fights take place at school, on street corners, or in parks, when one girl provokes another to the point that she must either “step up” or be labeled a “punk.” Typically, when girls engage in violence that is not strictly self-defense, they are labeled “delinquent,” their actions taken as a sign of emotional pathology. However, in Why Girls Fight, Cindy D. Ness demonstrates that in poor urban areas this kind of street fighting is seen as a normal part of girlhood and a necessary way to earn respect among peers, as well as a way for girls to attain a sense of mastery and self-esteem in a social setting where legal opportunities for achievement are not otherwise easily available. Ness spent almost two years in west and northeast Philadelphia to get a sense of how teenage girls experience inflicting physical harm and the meanings they assign to it. While most existing work on girls’ violence deals exclusively with gangs, Ness sheds new light on the everyday street fighting of urban girls, arguing that different cultural standards associated with race and class influence the relationship that girls have to physical aggression.Female juvenile delinquentsUnited StatesTeenage girlsPsychologyInner citiesUnited StatesMinoritiesUnited StatesPsychologyElectronic books.Cindy.Fight.Ness.achievement.among.areas.attain.available.demonstrates.earn.easily.fighting.girlhood.girls.kind.legal.mastery.necessary.normal.opportunities.otherwise.part.peers.poor.respect.seen.self-esteem.sense.setting.social.street.that.this.urban.well.where.Female juvenile delinquentsTeenage girlsPsychology.Inner citiesMinoritiesPsychology.303.60835/20973Ness Cindy D.1959-1046324MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460048803321Why girls fight2473148UNINA01387nam0 22003251i 450 UON0042154820231205104825.914978-92-510-5610-320130402d2006 |0itac50 baengIT|||| |||||Agriculture and poverty in commodity dependent African countriesa rural household perspective from the United Republic of TanzaniaAlexander Sarris...
