---|---|
Authors | Atkinson-Sheppard, S. |
Description | For five years, GANGS, a project funded by the European Research Council and led by Dennis Rodgers, has been studying gang dynamics on a global scale. When we study the phenomenon in a nuanced way, freeing ourselves from the usual stereotypes and contempt, gangs and gangsters can allow us to better understand the world in which we live. Sally Atkinson-Sheppard chronicles Sharif's journey from gang member during the Bangladesh War of Independence to human rights defender today. |
