"Using an ethnographic approach, the book traces the evolution of Honduran gangs from small, neighborhood groups to members of violent cartels, with the gangs becoming communities that are at once criminal and political. The author attributes this development to imperialism and corruption, which, he argues, shaped this underworld and led its members to embrace new trades in the illicit economy"-- Provided by publisher.
