Reppin' 4 Life: The Formation and Racialization of Vietnamese American Youth Gangs in Southern California

The experiences of Vietnamese American youth gang members need to be considered in order to theorize racialization and clans formation in a changing world. There are material and ideological consequences for Vietnamese and Asian American youth gang formation in Southern California, including local, state, and national policy implications. A major concern is around the politics of deportation and question of citizenship. By understanding the political economy of racism, migration, and schooling---historically, contextually, and comparatively---this project, fundamentally, attempts to restore and recover our collective humanity.
