Abstract
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. A major assumption of this discussion is that for many marginal Black males, “the streets” is a socialization institution that has a major influence on their psychosocial development and life-course trajectories and transitions. In addition, the article addresses some of the problematic consequences associated with the pursuit of manhood and social recognition in “the streets.”
