Breaking away from previous studies looking at structural inequality and differences, this unique book focuses instead on the practices and interactions between 47 young men, and what they do to become a \"ghetto chameleon\". Indeed, exploring in detail what young men do to survive conflicts and what is at stake, Lindegaard depicts how they must become flexible in who they are in order to fit in and be safe when they move between \"black\" or \"coloured\" township areas and the \"white\" suburbs of Cape Town.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpening the reader's mind to the relational aspect of violence, \u003ci\u003eSurviving Gangs, Violence and Racism in Cape Town \u003c\/i\u003ewill appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in fields such as African Studies, Qualitative Criminology, Sociology, Gang Violence and Anthropology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marie Rosenkrantz Lindegaard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367371162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367371166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.67d","brand":"Marie Rosenkrantz Lindegaard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136003125503,"sku":"9780367371166","price":62.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65ad3247-587b-428d-9994-e115d7ecba43.jpg?v=1770159862","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/surviving-gangs-violence-and-racism-marie-rosenkrantz-lindegaard-9780367371166","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
