Straight Edge by Ross Haenfler
Offering an in-depth sociological analysis of the movement, this book follows the lives of dozens of straight-edge youths, showing how for these young men and women, and thousands of others worldwide, the adoption of the straight-edge doctrine as a way to better themselves evolved into a broader mission to improve the world in which they live.
In this, the first major scholarly study of the straight edge phenomenon, Ross Haenfler puts forth a richly compelling and very personal narrative, expertly applying his sociological training as he moves effortlessly between insider and outsider perspectives- Michael Kimmel, professor of sociology, SUNY at Stony Brook, and author of Manhood in America: A Cultural History
Ross Haenfler is an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Mississippi.
