Fred Gardaphe
Studies the cultural figure of the gangster, and explores its social function in the construction and projection of masculinity in the United States. This book shows how the gangster can be seen as a 'trickster' figure and how the gangster has served as that figure in American culture by showing what is and is not authentically American.
