Document Summary
Anta02 in search of respect; chapter 5. Social margnz"n is constructed & enforced in the interfaces among family friends and school, especially for pre-teenage years. Subtle markers like eye contact, play style, attn spans: hierarchy use to persuade agents of mainstream mid-class white dominated bureaucracy that a partic child is has a discipline/emo/learning problem. Violence then organizes daily school life => becoming primary memory fight/fuck for respect. Its nec for youths to cultivate violent personas when shifted from one school to another. It conflates w/machistic focus on sexual conquest = parameter for schoolyard respect. The peer group= the other socializing force pushing marginal children into street culture and underground econ. They learn from each other (non-academically) and spend time cultivating street identity in & outside confines of school. Not merely pursuing image of evilness criminality is taught and apprenticed to youth by older. Peers: learning criminality influenced by econ need + gender-based definition of dignified male.
