This book explains the evolution of "Black" American Street Gangs to Street Tribes or Indigenous American Tribal Governments. "Street Rite" is a timely and relevant book written by Ansar El Muhammad, which explores the dynamics of urban gangs and the challenges they pose to the law enforcement and society in general. The book provides an insightful and nuanced analysis of gang culture, emphasizing the importance of understanding the historical, social, and political context in which these groups emerge and operate.The central argument of "Street Rite" is that gangs are not monolithic entities but complex social groups that emerge in response to various social and economic pressures.In conclusion, "Street Rite" is a thought-provoking and informative book that provides an insightful analysis of gang culture and its impact on society. The author's central arguments are well-supported by extensive fieldwork, and his approach is both empathetic and rigorous.The book's methodology is solid, and the author's approach to research is ethical and respectful of the subjects he studies. El Muhammad employs a variety of research methods, including participant observation, informal interviews, and ethnographic research, which allow him to gain an in-depth understanding of gang culture from the inside out. The author's use of quotes from gang members and their associates is particularly effective in conveying the complexity and diversity of gang culture. Members of these societies have read this book and have made various improvements in their current structures. It has given members insight on how to protect their political rights and status. The dominant narrative from mainstream media uses gangs as a scapegoat for many ills of society. This work sheds light on why and the covert and overt efforts to try to make sure that the majority of its members do not catch on to the plot that gangs are being used to further oppress "Black" communities.
