The goal of this book is to encourage educators and researchers to understand the complexities of adolescent gang members' lives in order to rethink their assumptions about these students in school. The particular objective is to situate four gang members as literate, caring students from loving families whose identities and literacy keep them on the margins of school. The research described in this book suggests that advocacy is a particularly effective form of critical ethnography. Smith and Whitmore argue that until schools, as communities of practice, enable children and adolescents to retain identities from the communities in which they are full community members, frightening numbers of students are destined to fail.The stories of four Mexican American male adolescents, who were active members of a gang and Smith's students in an alternative high school program, portray the complicated, multiple worlds in which these boys live. As sons and teenage parents they live in a family community; as CRIP members they live in a gang community; as "at risk" students, drop-outs, and graduates they live in a school community, and as a result of their illegal activities they live in the juvenile court community. The authors theorize about the boys' literacy in each of their communities. Literacy is viewed as ideological, related to power, and embedded in a sociocultural context. Vivid examples of conversation, art, tagging, rap, poetry, and other language and literacy events bring the narratives to life in figures and photographs in all the chapters. Readers will find this book engaging and readable, yet thought provoking and challenging.Audiences for Literacy and Advocacy in Adolescent Family, Gang, School, and Juvenile Court Communities include education researchers, professionals, and students in the areas of middle/high school education, at-risk adolescent psychology, and alternative community programs--specifically those interested in literacy education, sociocultural theory, and popular culture.

Puddings are Britain's unsung culinary inheritance, and their infinite variety is unrivalled anywhere in the world. They come boiled, baked and steamed, British trifle is a triumph, and deep pies with fruit below and pastry on top have always intrigued visitors from abroad. Despite the current obsession with diet, puddings have made a dramatic comeback in recent years. Below the abstemious salads and grills on restaurant menus, indulgent toffee pudding, rich chocolate confections and satisfying steamed puddings with custard can be found. Mary and Debbie Smith have mined this sweet-tasting history to produce over 100 recipes for the perfect finish to a meal. Rice pudding, custard and steamed puddings are featured alongside the Smiths' own versions of traditional dishes, plus ideas to appeal to modern tastes using ingredients with a traditional feel and flavour.
