The book explores the challenges faced by young Black men living on a disadvantaged London housing estate, focusing on the street code that dictates their behavior, promoting violence, misogyny, and materialism. It examines how this code shapes their masculine identities and the societal pressures to conform. Additionally, it highlights stories of individuals who resist these norms and discusses the role of youth workers in fostering a more caring and personalized form of masculinity to help those affected by this environment.
