Book Synopsis
Aims to reveal a tug-of-war between the demands of race, class, and gender in which transgressing in one realm often means conforming to expectations in another. This book shows that subcultures navigate these connecting territories by offering them different sexual strategies. It presents a portrait of the structure of young lives.

Trade Review
"This is a beautifully, pungently written book in which telling ethnographic detail and compelling, often entertaining, narrative accounts are deployed in the service of a theoretically sophisticated, well-argued analysis. It is both provocative and riveting." - Mary Ann Clawson, Wesleyan University"
