Inner-City Rural: The Transmission of Problematic Black Male identities from Urban to Black Rural Communities in the United States
This paper introduces the term inner-city rural to describe a conceptual framework that seeks to explain the transmission of urban and street-based alternative constructions of black manhood identities to majority black rural counties in the United States. The central theoretical argument advanced in this paper is that exposure to urban street culture as it is represented in some versions of gangsta rap and hip hop music, videos and culture is a …
“The Streets”: An Alternative Black Male Socialization Institution
The primary purpose of this article is to describe the social significance of “the streets” as an alternative to the family, church, and other communitybased institutions that facilitate Black male socialization.

Violent Crime: Assessing Race and Ethnic Differences

This exceptiona…

Black Males and Social Problems: Prevention Through Afrocentric Socialization
Most Americans are aware of the high rates of social problems among Black Americans. For example, Blacks are disproportionately represented among Americans experiencing academic failure, teenage pregnancy, female-headed families, chronic unemployment, poverty, alcoholism, drug addiction, and criminal victimization (Poussaint, 1983; U.S. News and World Report, 1986). Consequently, there is a great deal of debate among politicians, journalists, aca…
