Digital Street

It is simply no longer possible to understand coming of age in the inner city without an appreciation of both the face-to-face and online relations that structure neighborhood life. In The Digital Street, Jeffrey Lane takes readers on- and offline with black teenagers navigating Harlem's rapidly-changing streets to examine how digital social media alters neighborhood life in poor, minority communities.
