The hard knock life

This research, informed by the interpretative paradigm, Goffman's "face work," and Omi' s and Winant's notion of racial formation, is based on participant observation in the social world of gangs. "Set" members conduct as "Gs" (gangsters) contributes to their development of a "good" or "bad" "face. The face is all one has in the gang world, individually and collectively. Social status shapes the application of a complex set of rules in this multi-racial "set." The set is a race, class and gender project wherein racial minority males construct a society that rewards them for showing the face of the hyper-masculine male.
