This chapter discusses how themes of pedagogy are developed in the street gang memoirs. It explains that lack of education acts as a narrative springboard to highlight unequal social interactions in the U.S. by showing that working-class non-white youths are always sidelined or often receive a substandard education. It also describes how the authors of the street gang memoirs argue that providing complete literacy to youths will help them avoid the horrors of street gang violence.
