Zusammenfassung:Part of a special issue on new pedagogies for social change. The writer provides a basis for the interpretation of the educational perceptions and aspirations among college-age members of urban gangs and college experiences of students who have been in gangs. She offers an example of the ways in which critical ethnography can add to teacher preparation, and she believes that a major shift in the political landscape of higher education is needed as teachers ask about and listen to the experiences of those they serve in the classroom.
