Street gangs are complex social phenomena. Few scholars have done more than Diego Vigil to peel back the layers and cut across the levels to understand gangs. Over the last four decades he has hoisted the multiple marginality perspective to the forefront of gang research, and this work continues the tradition. Understanding gangs requires attention to people, families, schools, communities, and political economies. Multiple Marginality and Gangs is both a manifold and a telescope, offering distal and proximal views of the many these many dimensions of street gangs. -- David C. Pyrooz, University of Colorado Boulder Multiple Marginality and Gangs: Through a Prism Darkly offers a concise explanation of Vigil's concept of multiple marginality: one of the most important frameworks for understanding gangs today. -- John Hagedorn, University of Illinois Chicago
