Gangs in the Latino Atlantic. Transnationalism , generations, translations and the invention of “la Raza”. The essay explores the transnationals practices among global gangs composed by young migrants in Italy. The research has been developed following the global connections (virtuals and materials) of young members of Latin Kings and Netas, two of the most important organizations in youth subcultures spread in Latin America, Europe and USA. Transnationalism appears as a tool for reinventing ethnicity and constituting a generation sharing cultures, styles, and codes beyond borders. This generation contributes to shape a transnational social field, the Atlantico Latino, organized by rituals, travel and power relations.

Abstract
Gangs in the Latino Atlantic. Transnationalism , generations, translations and the invention of “la Raza”. The essay explores the transnationals practices among global gangs composed by young migrants in Italy. The research has been developed following the global connections (virtuals and materials) of young members of Latin Kings and Netas, two of the most important organizations in youth subcultures spread in Latin America, Europe and USA. Transnationalism appears as a tool for reinventing ethnicity and constituting a generation sharing cultures, styles, and codes beyond borders. This generation contributes to shape a transnational social field, the Atlantico Latino, organized by rituals, travel and power relations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
