The Teenage Mafia
The Teenage Mafia is a rare, exciting, and unpredictable story. There is not another story like it. Read and follow the crew on their havoc causing journey, from assaulting and robbing people randomly to beefing with each other. Steven and Lewis are teenagers who took the wrong exit to make their dreams come true. Lewis talked Steven into forming a six men crew. Lewis realized his goals could not get accomplished with just the two of them. Along the way, Steven finds himself making most of the important decision for the crew. Lewis and Steven recruited four other students from their school named Eric, James, Willie and Johnny. Eric is a wimpy nerd who would do anything to toughen up his image. Eric's sex addiction led him into some strange situations. James has a gambling problem. He goes from losing to winning. His attitude changes for the worst, making him hard to get along with. His greed outweighs the rest of The Teenage Mafia member's greed. Willie and Johnny are stars on their school's football team. The two first cousins were feared tremendously by other students. Will The Teenage Mafia pull together and make things work or will they fold under pressure?
Green Gentrification
Green Gentrification looks at the social consequences of urban "greening" from an environmental justice and sustainable development perspective. Through a comparative examination of five cases of urban greening in Brooklyn, New York, it demonstrates that such initiatives, while positive for the environment, tend to increase inequality and thus undermine the social pillar of sustainable development. Although greening is ostensibly intended to improve environmental conditions in neighborhoods, it generates green gentrification that pushes out the working-class, and people of color, and attracts white, wealthier in-migrants. Simply put, urban greening "richens and whitens," remaking the city fo...

A Fortress in Brooklyn
The epic story of Hasidic Williamsburg, from the decline of New York to the gentrification of Brooklyn "A rich chronicle of the Satmar Hasidic community in Williamsburg. . . . This expert account enlightens."—Publishers Weekly “One of the most creative and iconoclastic works to have been written about Jews in the United States.”—Eliyahu Stern, Yale University The Hasidic community in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn is famously one of the most separatist, intensely religious, and politically savvy groups of people in the entire United States. Less known is how the community survived in one of the toughest parts of New York City during an era of steep decline, only to later resist...
Experts and Campaigners
The papers assembled in this volume should enable readers to understand what too many people today insistently misperceive. Environmental protection is not just a "special interest". It is an essential task for everyone. This book brings together texts by social scientists from the United States, France and Spain. Their common frame of reference is the dialectic between experts and activists in socio-environmental movements, as well as the concern about changes, both cognitive and political, arising in that context.
Blue-Green Coalitions
What do unions and environmental groups have to gain by working together and how do they overcome their differences? In Blue-Green Coalitions, Brian Mayer answers these questions by focusing on the role that health-related issues have played in creating a common ground between the two groups. By recognizing that the same toxics that cause workplace hazards escape into surrounding communities and the environment, workers and environmentalists are able to collaborate for the protection of all. Mayer examines three contemporary cases of successful labor-environmental alliances to demonstrate how health and safety issues are used to create durable and politically influential social movement coal...
