Street Life: The Background on Belonging to a Gang Reconnecting the Threads

    • Society & Culture

For the next few episodes we will be moving from the topics of religion and spirituality to the topic of street life and gangs. To give us some insight into this world, we talk with Usef who was in Detroit gang for many years. He knows the streets well and is the perfect person to speak on urban life and gang society. These first two episodes are conversations between Mark and Usef. Later Dan joins the discussion for understanding what drives young people to join gangs.



This episode primarily gives the context and vocabulary surrounding gang life before the discussion focuses on the "take -aways" for listeners.
