Abstract
Much of the information on low-level drug dealers comes from studies conducted during the 1960s focused almost exclusively on young Anglos and university settings. This field study examines the activities and social organization of young males who openly sell marijuana on street corners of a predominantly low income, Black community in northwest California.Keywords
