Vampires, Dragons, and Egyptian Kings: Youth Gangs in Postwar New York

Explains why youth gangs emerged, how they evolved, and why young men found membership and the violence it involved so attractive. This book describes how postwar urban renewal, slum clearances, and ethnic migration pitted African-American, Puerto Rican, and Euro-American youths against each other in battles to dominate changing neighborhoods.
