Tylers BGB, Inc. foreman, Jamber, lead singer in an AC/DC cover band, is due in Family Court to remit forty-eight thousand dollars in back child support of which he is forty-two thousand dollars light. Limon, twenty-three year old American-Mexican immigrant, is the force of the Gotham Minors, a schist breaking division of Tylers company. Limon wields a one hundred and twelve pound sledgehammer over the hands of splitting maul cradler, Umberto, a sixty-two year old Puerto Rican transplant from the Bronx. The third member of the crew, light barer, key man and mule, is a rebellious scholar from Merida, who distinguishes the six mauls used by the minors to slab schist, by linking the names of the Apostles from the New Testament with those from the Gnostic Gospels--unbeknownst to the romantic scholar, he is also lunch fetch. It is the task of the Gotham Minors, breaking schist below the sidewalks of Manhattan, to clear enough room in the earth for the passage of a mans headwithout disturbing the neighbors.

Street outreach workers comb public places such as parks, vacant lots, and abandoned waterfronts to search for young people who are living out in public spaces, if not always in the public eye. Street Kids opens a window to the largely hidden world of street youth, drawing on their detailed and compelling narratives to give new insight into the experiences of youth homelessness and youth outreach. Kristina Gibson argues that the enforcement of quality of life ordinances in New York City has spurred hyper-mobility amongst the city’s street youth population and has serious implications for social work with homeless youth. Youth in motion have become socially invisible and marginalized from public spaces where social workers traditionally contact them, jeopardizing their access to the already limited opportunities to escape street life. The culmination of a multi-year ethnographic investigation into the lives of street outreach workers and ‘their kids’ on the streets of New York City, Street Kids illustrates the critical role that public space regulations and policing play in shaping the experience of youth homelessness and the effectiveness of street outreach.

LaTonya Yvette, the blogger and stylist behind the eponymous site, is unapologetically candid about life’s trials, including motherhood, love, death, and racism. Her first book, Woman of Color, is part memoir, part lifestyle guide—packed with moving essays, gorgeous original and archival photographs, and practical style and beauty advice. At the very heart, though, it’s about LaTonya’s experience growing up as a woman of color in Brooklyn. Each beautifully designed chapter covers a different topic—the meaning behind her name, how vitiligo has shaped her definition of beauty, her childhood hairstyles, raising her children as a 20-something mom—and ends with thoughtful advice and lifestyle takeaways like how to tie a headwrap or incorporate new, bold colors into your wardrobe. Woman of Color is real life, real style for women from all walks of life. In it, LaTonya has written a love letter to women, filling this book with vulnerable, imperfect truths from a black woman blogger, a voice not often seen on bookstore shelves.
