Hidden Truth: Young Men Navigating Lives In and Out of Juvenile Prison


Add your own review!

Overview

Hidden Truth takes the reader inside a Rhode Island juvenile prison to explore broader questions of how poor, disenfranchised young men come to terms with masculinity and identity. Adam D. Reich, who worked with inmates to produce a newspaper, writes vividly and memorably about the young men he came to know, and in the process extends theories of masculinity, crime, and social reproduction into a provocative new paradigm. Reich suggests that young men's participation in crime constitutes a game through which they achieve ""outsider masculinity."" Once in prison these same youths are forced to reconcile their criminal practices with a new game and new ""insider masculinity"" enforced by guards and administrators.
