Book Description
This book is the most extensive contribution to our understanding of the graffiti subculture to date. Using insights from ethnographic research conducted in London and New York, this book explores the varying ways young men use graffiti to construct masculinity, claim power, and establish independence from the institutions which define, and often limit, them as young people. Forging a link between subcultural practice and identity construction, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in new understandings of youth and their subcultures.

Review of Graffiti Subculture.......2005-04-13
Allow me to be the first voice of dissent--while this is a thoroughly researched ethnography, the analysis was myopic and simply not intensive enough. My primary disapointment in this book was the author's failure to account for graffiti itself--as a language, as text, as communication. So little has been written on this subject, but Mcdonald spends only the smallest amount of time discussing the way that graffiti "performs". Of course, you say, she is a sociologist, and this is a subcultural study. But Mcdonald spends a great deal of this book focusing on masculine/feminine identity and graffiti art as a way to "perform" masculinity or femininity, through exclusion and inclusion. Graffiti is contextualized as an expression of anomie and disenfranchisement, and the illegal nature is brought to the forefront. But this could easily have been a book about gang members in London, as very little in this book would have been different. So much can be written about the way urban youth mediate themselves, and why. This book just does not account for communication and, in focusing on its subjects, neglects the very interfaces and connections that allow them to communicate and differentiate. Finally, the greatest weakness of this book is that it makes NO attempt to historicize graffiti. It's as if graffiti first appeared in the 80's out of a cultural vacuum. Without any sort of historical context, the hobby discussed in this volume means very, very little. Like other dissertations written for public consumption, the book spends a great deal of time recounting the history of 20th century criticism, which will make you tap your foot and roll your eyes if you've heard all of this before. I enjoy the approach--ethnography is a very important methodology, first person narration and personal anecdotes are too often absent from academic work (but becoming more popular in recent years)and the author's insistence that her subjects review and revise her work in the footnotes is very endearing, and perhaps revolutionary. I just wish that this book had actually discussed graffiti--how do we understand subjects without understanding their symbolic order?
First-rate exploration of the world of the graffiti writer.......2004-12-11
I couldn't recommend this book more highly to anybody with a serious interest in the lives and values of graffiti writers. The book is undeniably scholarly in tone, but is written in a clear and lucid manner which makes it accessible to anybody with an interest in the subject. Furthermore, Macdonald's effective discussion of her methodologies and the assumptions underlying her work make the book invaluable for anybody who wishes to look at a variety of subcultures, not just graffiti.
Even if you don't believe the blurb (or this review), believe the pages of glowing appraisals from graffiti writers that fill the back of the book. This is, in itself, a considerable achievment, and testifies to the high regard in which Macdonald's work is held by her subjects. If more writers bothered to check their work with the people they write about, this type of book would be held in higher regard outside the world of academia.
amazing insight.......2001-07-26
I myself have conducted extensive research on the subject and have found Nancy's book to be the most comprehensive study to date on the graffiti subculture. How a researcher can get so close to the essense of a very difficult subculture to penetrate is beyond me. An immensely interesting read, and a resource for study into any youth subcultural activity.
WRITING ON WRITING.......2001-07-25
THOUGHTS:
At last! A sensible rational book on the graffiti sub-culture. This book presents established sociological schools of thought uniquely re-interpreted in a reader-friendly down to earth methodology. Should be compulsary reading for any student of Culture or Sociology, or indeed anyone with an interest in this controversial artform.I think it would be enlightening reading for those who continue to make political mileage about the deviance of graffiti , and force them to examine the roots and different branches of the sub-culture. I only wish I'd owned it at the beginning of my degree course but will be fully utilising it in my last year of essays. It is rare to read a book which balances academic strength with such clarity on the little studied role of female participants of sub-cultures.
Unique and compelling.......2001-07-25
Taking a different approach to the graffiti subject is not something I would usually recommend - most authors that have tried to write about graf and the surrounding culture produce forgettable books often ridiculed by graf writers. And if you don't appeal to the people you're writing about, where's the decency in that? Nancy Macdonald has totally blown any preconceptions you might have about her approach to this subject - she looks at the culture from the perspective of an outsider looking in, but successfully involves the people she is writing about. Genuine quotes from writers (not just any writers, but respected and admired writers) prove that Macdonald carried out the necessary research to write an incredible book on the ideas and psychology behind graffiti. Although the content is generally text, the selection of photos are well chosen and effective at backing up the writing.
To cap off an already-essential book, Macdonald had the courtesy to hand the book back to the writers who contributed and helped. Their comments (in the back of the book) only enforce that this book is accurate and genuine - and for that alone, Macdonald should be applauded.
For anyone interested in graffiti - whether it's reading quotes about yard missions, or wanting to know the reasons behind why people write on trains and walls - this book is vital reading.

Book Description
Asian American Youth is the first collection to address a wide number of important topics about Asian American youth as a distinctive group. The Asian-origin population constitutes the fastest growing racial/ethnic group in the US today. As a consequence, Asian American youth are quickly growing into their own subculture and carving out their own identities in American culture. Asian American Youth covers topics such as Asian immigration, acculturation, assimilation, intermarriage, socialization, sexuality, and ethnic identification. The distinguished contributors show how Asian American youth have created an identity and space for themselves historically and in contemporary multicultural America.

good enough but not breaking the mold.......2006-04-17
A.A.Y.C.I.E. is a compilation of reports from various Asian American Studies writers. If you are not familiar with AAS literature it is a good intro with a wide breadth of community samplings and general facts in part 1. The book itself is rather restrictive with the definition of "Youth". The "youth" it focus' on is high school students and college students, the book does not make room for studies of Jr. high students who participate in these activities. The book does its job, reporting on findings of youths within communities, but that's where it ends. There is a small chapter (The conclusion) where it looks at where AA youth are headed but that's it. This book is not groundbreaking and it suffers from the same shortcomings of most AAS literature as of late. No direction of where the community is headed, how to solve reoccurring problems of gambling and alcohol within our families and completely ignores the mixed or "Happa" community. A good read but don't expect too much.
Book Description
The Tiwanaku state was the political and cultural center of ancient Andean civilization for almost 700 years. Identity and Power is the result of ten years of research that has revealed significant new data. Janusek explores the origins, development, and collapse of this ancient state through the lenses of social identities--gender, ethnicity, occupation, for example--and power relations. He combines recent developments in social theory with the archaeological record to create a fascinating and theoretically informed exploration of the history of this important civilization.
Book Description
As recalled in
Honky, Dalton Conley’s childhood has all of the classic elements of growing up in America. But the fact that he was one of the few white boys in a mostly black and Puerto Rican neighborhood on Manhattan’s Lower East Side makes Dalton’s childhood unique.
At the age of three, he couldn’t understand why the infant daughter of the black separatists next door couldn’t be his sister, so he kidnapped her. By the time he was a teenager, he realized that not even a parent’s devotion could protect his best friend from a stray bullet. Years after the privilege of being white and middle class allowed Conley to leave the projects, his entertaining memoir allows us to see how race and class impact us all. Perfectly pitched and daringly original,
Honky is that rare book that entertains even as it informs.
Download Description
This intensely personal and engaging memoir is the coming-of-age story of a white boy growing up in a neighborhood of predominantly African American and Latino housing projects on New York's Lower East Side. Vividly evoking the details of city life from a child's point of view--the streets, buses, and playgrounds--Honky poignantly illuminates the usual vulnerabilities of childhood complicated by unusual circumstances. As he narrates these sharply etched and often funny memories, Conley shows how race and class shaped his life and the lives of his schoolmates and neighbors. A brilliant case study for illuminating the larger issues of inequality in American society, Honky brings us to a deeper understanding of the privilege of whiteness, the social construction of race, the power of education, and the challenges of inner-city life. Conley's story provides a sophisticated example of the crucial role culture plays in defining race and class. Both of Conley's parents retained the "cultural capital" of the white middle class, and they passed this on to their son in the form of tastes, educational expectations, and a general sense of privilege. It is these advantages that ultimately provide Conley with his ticket to higher education and beyond. A tremendously good read, Honky addresses issues both timely and timeless that pertain to us all.

A pretty damn good book........2007-06-17
I was assigned to read this by my High School teacher in summer.
This book really shows the real life of kids unlike the other books I've read. This story lacks a main focus though, it's mainly about a kid's life from almost start to around the age of a teen.
This book was interesting to read. I'd like to give out details but, I'm afraid I might spoil it for you all. :(
But, the ending wasn't what I was expecting, so that was kind of a letdown.
Great book, get it and read it!
Brilliant Memoir with Bright Insights!.......2007-06-05
Honky is a memoir in which Dalton Conley reflects on his youth. He tells of his position that seems so peculiar and uncommon: a white minority. What is so great about this book is that it is a lesson in racial and social stratification; however, by weaving wit, wisdom, and analysis, Conley makes it feel as though it is just a novel. This is a true example of making academic analysis personal and exciting to read, something we do not see too much of these days.
I was first inspired to read this book after taking Dalton Conley's Introduction to Sociology Course at NYU. He makes his presence known in person as well as the fact that he makes his voice come through the pages of Honky.
W/O objectification.......2007-05-28
This was one of the greatest reads that I had come across on the close examination of 'how races are lived in US'. Due to the nature of the author's profession (a sociologist), the handle of it is skillful and clinical as possible when he gets down to the subject of 'how people lived in NYC'. And the huge part of it is inevitably about races. The triumphe of this project is that the author somehow manages to carry the whole process out without objectifying the subject or dehumanizing people who are involved because he includes himself as the huge part of the experiment, the project and THE LIFE in NYC in 80's. To his eyes, himself as an only white kid among predominantly Black and hispanic kids or Chinese school system in lower Manhattan is just another life in the time and the place. The persepective he carries through the book is literally so rare that I am astonished to learn what a treasure he has had. I do appreciate the fact that he has incorporated the whole experiences to make it really accessible to indiscriminate readers.
The Same, Yet Different.......2006-05-22
Dalton Conley has written a very good book looking at race relations through the prism of his life growing up white in a largely minority project of New York City. What comes out of his writing are two points.
First: Being the minority in any situation is not good. Conley writes about being picked on and beat up for being white. He writes about being the provebial outsider because of his skin color. He writes about his various friends of different colors and the politics surrounding their friendships in the hood. Interestingly, he writes about being treated differently by the teachers because of his skin color. Conley writes about not being hit by minority teachers because they thought that white parents were soft on their children and they would not allow him to be struck. Do I hear the word stereotype? HMMM...
Second: There are advantages to being white, even if you are poor. This is one point that Conley drives home time and time again. Yes he was beaten up for being white, but he also was able to go to better schools due to connections of his parents. You find out all of the parents that cared for their children tried to move them to better schools with the address game, except because his parents had friends in better neighboorhoods he was able to go to the schools his friends couldn't. Conley was also able to go to the country for summer vacation that his peers did not have access. His parents were poor, but also educated and that made a difference in his life. Conley had a role model which helped him leave the projects.
This book is poignant. I lived a somewhat similar life as a white kid among minorities for a good number of years. While my experiences are not exactly the same, they do have similar bases of being beat up for being white and trying to steer through the racial politics of friendship when your friends abandon you because it is easier than standing and doing the right thing in the face of large groups. Being treated differently in school by teachers agravated various situations, even if the teachers were minorities themselves and were doing the right thing for all concerned. These are some of the same experiences, but not on the harsh level he lived.
Honky is a good read and gives some insight to living white inside minority neighborhoods. A good comparison to "Honky" is "All Souls" by Michael Patrick McDonald. A story of an Irish Catholic family growing up in South Boston. There is plenty of racism there also, but from the other side and growing up depseratly poor is the key to both books. Highly Recommended
Thanks for the memories.......2005-11-26
I grew up in the lower east side around the same time as Dalton. The Baruch projects was my home from birth to age 27. I was able to enjoy this book at three levels. One, is was a validation of my experiences. I was a nuyorican nerd who felt like I belonged and didn't belong. I believe Dalton had that feeling as well. I also thought the book indirectly educated people about identity; although white, Dalton was one of us, a lower east sider. Lastly, I enjoyed it as an american story. Alot of people made it out of there and did well.
My only criticisms have to do with some of the time-lines. They don't match my memory (e.g., drugstore hostage dates may be off. Stuff like that was memorable because it was rare). I also wished that Dalton would have addressed issues around racial identity of the the people in the Lower East Side. Puerto Ricans adopted alot of african-american ways. Also, there were white puerto ricans who had some of the advantages that Dalton could have-Albert Ortega, Ph.D.

If ever a book on cyberculture wore a fedora and trench coat and leaned against a lamppost on a foggy street, this is the one. It is an unabashed look at the dark side of the Net--the stuff many other books gloss over. It's hard-edged, wisecracking, and often quite cynical as it pours over the reality of online scams, illegal activities, and simple annoyances.
Wang's stated goal is to open the reader's eyes about what's really there. He shows what's being done, how it's being done, and how to avoid problems or even strike back. He begins with a chapter about the news media, and his message is that no source is to be trusted completely. He examines issues important to Internet users: the cost of getting computerized (with tips on how to find the real bargains), who is using the Internet as a source of hate information, and how your privacy can be invaded and protected.
He shows you the secrets of malicious hackers and others and how some of them attack computer systems without the ethical mindset typical of the original, idealistic hackers. Wang shows you how you can set up your defenses against such an onslaught, discussing how to protect yourself and your kids from online stalkers and how online con games work.
Wang never claims that the Internet is the electronic den of darkness that the pop media make it out to be. But he makes it clear that something this big has its lowlights--it's own "net noir." His messages are "know your enemy" and "be careful who you trust," an ideology verified by the examples he provides. --Elizabeth Lewis
Book Description
National bestseller with over 175,000 copies sold!
If you thought hacking was just about mischief-makers hunched over computers in the basement, think again. As seasoned author Wallace Wang explains, hacking can also mean questioning the status quo, looking for your own truths, and never accepting at face value anything authorities say or do.
The completely revised fourth edition of this offbeat, non-technical book examines what hackers do, how they do it, and how you can protect yourself. Written in the same informative, irreverent, and entertaining style that made the first three editions hugely successful, Steal This Computer Book 4.0 will expand your mind and raise your eyebrows. New chapters discuss the hacker mentality, social engineering and lock picking, exploiting P2P file-sharing networks, and how people manipulate search engines and pop-up ads to obtain and use personal information. Wang also takes issue with the media for "hacking" the news and presenting the public with self-serving stories of questionable accuracy. Inside, you'll discover:
How to manage and fight spam and spyware
How Trojan horse programs and rootkits work, and how to defend against them
How hackers steal software and defeat copy-protection mechanisms
How to tell if your machine is being attacked and what you can do to protect it
Where the hackers are, how they probe a target and sneak into a computer, and what they do once they get inside
How corporations use hacker techniques to infect your computer and invade your privacy
How you can lock down your computer to protect your data and your personal information using free programs included on the book's CD If you ve ever logged onto a website, conducted an online transaction, sent or received email, used a networked computer, or even watched the evening news, you may have already been tricked, tracked, hacked, and manipulated. As the saying goes, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you. And, as Wallace Wang reveals, they probably are. The companion CD contains hundreds of megabytes of 100% FREE hacking and security-related programs, like keyloggers, spyware stoppers, port blockers, IP scanners, Trojan horse detectors, and much, much more. CD compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.

This Book Is Basic. But very informative........2007-08-26
If you are looking to hack this book is for you. I found that visual basic is a good programming language. C++,Python,Java, and many more langs will have hacks. Its up to you to learn how to write them. You must learn the programming language before you start looking at hacking, because other wise you are wasting your time.Many hackers are self driven and want to create programs and discover flaws in programs. It is my personal experience that you will not find every thing you want to know from one book. If you are seriously into Networking and Security i sugeset learning from some one who will teach you and offers classes on it (this would be hands on learning) EcCouncil is a great reference and will teach you a lot.
Basic information.......2007-01-04
It's not bad, it just too basic. For some reason I had the expectation that it would be a more deep book about hacking.
Good overview.......2006-12-13
Good overview of network security from a very social perspective. If you are looking for tools based methodology this book misses the mark.
If you are interested in social engineering and social trends of hacking, this is right on.
I felt the book started off fairly strong but started to decline as the focus went more and more into social impacts of hacktivism.
Provides Concise Details.......2006-09-22
This book provides some pretty concise details for 370 pages. It's very pratical and entertaining to read. The writing style gives you a feeling of mysteriousness. However, the writer's insights are disputable; you may not agree with all of the comments he has on things. Of course that doesn't change the fact this book provides a lot of details on several internet topics one little book.
Am I Missing Something?.......2006-08-28
I don't understand the appeal of this book.
I've been around the internet phenomenon in one form or another for almost 20 years. I'm conversant with the history of many technical and cultural happenings on it. As a result, I'm probably not the best reader for an 'shocking truths' book because none of it is going to shock me.
I read this book thinking I might come across a few clever tactics I'd not heard of, and because it has been marketed as cynical and funny writing. We had a copy of Rube Goldberg's Steal This Book in the house when I was young, so I was hoping for something in that vein too.
Honestly, I struck out on all three. There wasn't anything new for me, which was fine. I didn't find the humor lame or bad. As a matter of fact, I simply didn't find it. Am I not reading it right? And finally, the irreverent I was looking forward to...well, I'm not entirely sure it's possible in this context. The book didn't deliver that premise for me, but I'm not sure it can really be done anymore. That time and those circumstances in our culture are different from this time and these circumstances.
Someone who is idly curious about how the internet "really works," likes a long read, and can get into being entertained on the topic might enjoy this book. For me however it was flatly informative, sometimes a little forced, and simply not a funny piece of writing.

Book Description
Los Angeles pulsed with economic vitality and demographic growth in the decades following World War II. This vividly detailed cultural history of L.A. from 1940 to 1970 traces the rise of a new suburban consciousness adopted by a generation of migrants who abandoned older American cities for Southern California's booming urban region. Eric Avila explores expressions of this new "white identity" in popular culture with provocative discussions of Hollywood and film noir, Dodger Stadium, Disneyland, and L.A.'s renowned freeways. These institutions not only mirrored this new culture of suburban whiteness and helped shape it, but also, as Avila argues, reveal the profound relationship between the increasingly fragmented urban landscape of Los Angeles and the rise of a new political outlook that rejected the tenets of New Deal liberalism and anticipated the emergence of the New Right.
Avila examines disparate manifestations of popular culture in architecture, art, music, and more to illustrate the unfolding urban dynamics of postwar Los Angeles. He also synthesizes important currents of new research in urban history, cultural studies, and critical race theory, weaving a textured narrative about the interplay of space, cultural representation, and identity amid the westward shift of capital and culture in postwar America.

Book Description
Contemporary scholars place the rural-urban divide at the center of individual identity in China. This interdisciplinary collection traces the development and distinctions between urban and rural life and the effect on the Chinese sense of identity from the 16th century to the present day. It provides a daunting example of the influence that political ideology may exert on an individual's sense of place.
Book Description
Racial Situations challenges perspectives on race that rely upon oft-repeated claims that race is culturally constructed and, hence, simply false and distorting. John Hartigan asserts, instead, that we need to explain how race is experienced by people as a daily reality. His starting point is the lives of white people in Detroit. As a distinct minority, whites in this city can rarely assume they are racially unmarked and normative--privileges generally associated with whiteness. Hartigan conveys their attempts to make sense of how race matters in their lives and in Detroit generally. Rather than compiling a generic sampling of white views, Hartigan develops an ethnographic account of whites in three distinct neighborhoods--an inner city, underclass area; an adjacent, debatably gentrifying community; and a working-class neighborhood bordering one of the city's wealthy suburbs. In tracking how racial tensions develop or become defused in each of these sites, Hartigan argues that whites do not articulate their racial identity strictly in relation to a symbolic figure of black Otherness. He demonstrates, instead, that intraracial class distinctions are critical in whites' determinations of when and how race matters.
In each community, the author charts a series of names--"hillbilly," "gentrifier," and "racist"--which whites use to make distinctions among themselves. He shows how these terms function in everyday discourses that reflect the racial consciousness of the communities and establish boundaries of status and privilege among whites in these areas.
Customer Reviews:
Fascinating!.......2001-07-03
As a white person who grew up in Detroit in the 1980s, this book caught my eye. Hartigan explores the ways in which whites are viewed in Detroit, in ways that can either emphasize or de-emphasize their whiteness. He explores whites in three different neighborhoods, where they are variously constructed as hillbillies, gentrifiers and racists, by interviewing and observing residents. He also brings into play the history of Detroit - the differences between the riots of the 40s and 60s - and examines the implications of racial tensions. Hartigan makes his topic vivid and interesting through his incorporation of personal narratives and his own experiences. This book is good not only for the anthropologist interested in American ethnography but also for the reader interested in race and history.
