  • William Poole - the Real "Bill the Butcher"
    William Poole - The Real "Bill The Butcher" William Poole was a Nativist enforcer of The Native American Party, also known as The Know Nothing Party, which was a faction of the American Republican Party. The Know Nothing was a movement created by Nativists whom believed that the overwhelming immigration of German and Irish Catholic immigrants were a threat to republican values and controlled by the Pope in Rome. They were dubbed the Know Nothings by outsiders of their semi-secret organization. This had nothing to do with them knowing anything. It had to do with their reply when asked of the organization's activities, often stating, "I know nothing." Bill the Butcher was a leader of The Bowery Boys and known for his skills as being a good bare knuckle boxer. Poole's trade was that of a butcher, and was infuriated when many butchering licenses were being handed out to Irish immigrants. William Poole was born in Sussex County, New Jersey to parents of English protestant descent. His family moved to New York City in 1832 to open a butcher shop in Washington Market, Manhattan. Bill Poole trained in his father's trade and eventually took over the family store. In the 1840s, he worked with the Howard (Red Rover) Volunteer Fire Engine Company #34, Hudson & Christopher Street. Uunlike in the movie, William "The Butcher" Poole was shot in real life. However, he was shot at Stanwix Hall, a bar on Broadway near Prince. William Poole did not die in a glorious street battle against his Irish enemies. Instead, he died from the gun wound at his home on Christopher Street.

  • Youth Gangs: Legislative Issues in the 109Th Congress
    Order Code RL33400 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Youth Gangs: Legislative Issues in the 109th Congress April 21, 2006 Celinda Franco Specialist in Social Legislation Domestic Social Policy Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Youth Gangs: Legislative Issues in the 109th Congress Summary Gang activity and related violence threaten public order in a diverse range of communities in the United States today. Congress has long recognized that this problem affects a number of issues of federal concern, and federal legislation has been introduced in the 109th Congress to address the subject. Youth gangs have been an endemic feature of American urban life. They are well attested as early as the 18th century and have been a recurrent subject of concern since then. Contemporary views of the problem have been formed against the background of a significant adverse secular trend in gang activity during the last four decades. In particular, the rapid growth of gang membership, geographical dispersion, and criminal involvement during the violent crime epidemic — associated with the emergence of the crack cocaine market during the mid-1980s to the early 1990s — have intensified current concerns. The experience of those years continues to mark both patterns of gang activity and public policy responses toward them. Reports about the increased activity and recent migration of a violent California- based gang, the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), have heightened concerns about gangs in certain areas of the country. Policy development and implementation in this area are bedeviled by discrepant uses of the term “gang” and the absence of uniform standards of statistical reporting.

  • For R. Hammer & D. Kellner, Eds., in Press/2008, Critical Cultural Studies
    For R. Hammer & D. Kellner, Eds., in press/2008, Critical Cultural Studies Reader. New York: Peter Lang. ANOTHER ETHNIC AUTOBIOGRAPHY? CHILDHOOD AND THE CULTURAL ECONOMY OF LOOKING Allan Luke Queensland University of Technology Australia Dramatis personae This piece was originally written for the International Conference on Knowledge and Discourse, and presented at the Run Run Shaw Theatre, Hong Kong, in 1996. A companion article on Asian masculinities was published in conference papers (Luke, 2002). My original talk included videoclips of my Uncle, Keye Luke, in Star Trek, “Whom Gods Destroy” (Series 3, episode 13, 1969) and with clips of my Father, Edwin Luke, in Blood Alley (Dir. William Wellman, Batjak Productions, 1956). The work sat unpublished until my mother, Ahlin Wong Luke, passed in 2007. My Father and Uncle’s representations continue to circulate in the transnational semiotic ether – as downloads, as DVDs, and in Wikipedia. I am rereading my Father’s film scripts, reconnoitring his experiences and, indeed, mine. As you read, you will notice that my discussion of ethnic narratives has been overtaken by subsequent work in film, cultural and Asian-American studies. I have retained the original 1990s citations in this work, updating them only where relevant. The premise of the article stands: that in contemporary capitalist societies like those of North America and Europe, essentialist bids to reclaim originary ethnic voice and identity are invariably forged in the contexts of multimediated childhood. Identity and practice are shaped by media representations of ‘cultures’, even where they are reproduced across generations by face-to-face and everyday exchanges between parents, community elders and youth.

  • Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture James
    The Communal Legitimacy of Collective Violence: Community and Politics in Antebellum New York City Irish Gang Subculture by James Peter Phelan A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta ©James Phelan, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the influences that New York City‘s Irish-Americans had on the violence, politics, and underground subcultures of the antebellum era. During the Great Famine era of the Irish Diaspora, Irish-Americans in Five Points, New York City, formed strong community bonds, traditions, and a spirit of resistance as an amalgamation of rural Irish and urban American influences. By the middle of the nineteenth century, Irish immigrants and their descendants combined community traditions with concepts of American individualism and upward mobility to become an important part of the antebellum era‘s ―Shirtless Democracy‖ movement. The proto-gang political clubs formed during this era became so powerful that by the late 1850s, clashes with Know Nothing and Republican forces, particularly over New York‘s Police force, resulted in extreme outbursts of violence in June and July, 1857. By tracking the Five Points Irish from famine to riot, this thesis as whole illuminates how communal violence and the riots of 1857 may be understood, moralised, and even legitimised given the community and culture unique to Five Points in the antebellum era. iii Table of Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................................

  • History of Gangs in the United States
    1 ❖ History of Gangs in the United States Introduction A widely respected chronicler of British crime, Luke Pike (1873), reported the first active gangs in Western civilization. While Pike documented the existence of gangs of highway robbers in England during the 17th century, it does not appear that these gangs had the features of modern-day, serious street gangs. Later in the 1600s, London was “terrorized by a series of organized gangs calling themselves the Mims, Hectors, Bugles, Dead Boys [and they] fought pitched battles among themselves dressed with colored ribbons to distinguish the different factions” (Pearson, 1983, p. 188). According to Sante (1991), the history of street gangs in the United States began with their emer- gence on the East Coast around 1783, as the American Revolution ended. These gangs emerged in rapidly growing eastern U.S. cities, out of the conditions created in large part by multiple waves of large-scale immigration and urban overcrowding. This chapter examines the emergence of gang activity in four major U.S. regions, as classified by the U.S. Census Bureau: the Northeast, Midwest, West, and South. The purpose of this regional focus is to develop a better understanding of the origins of gang activity and to examine regional migration and cultural influences on gangs themselves. Unlike the South, in the Northeast, Midwest, and West regions, major phases characterize gang emergence. Table 1.1 displays these phases. 1 2 ❖ GANGS IN AMERICA’S COMMUNITIES Table 1.1 Key Timelines in U.S. Street Gang History Northeast Region (mainly New York City) First period: 1783–1850s · The first ganglike groups emerged immediately after the American Revolution ended, in 1783, among the White European immigrants (mainly English, Germans, and Irish).
