Synopsis "Peace In the Hood: Working with Gang Members to End the Violence"

Peace In the Hood evokes the reality of gangland warfare but also acknowledges the possibility of peace. Written by Basheer, a pioneer of the interventionist movement, it documents the lessons he learned from over 40 years of working in inner cities. This book is designed to teach anyone how to be an interventionist, offering clear guidelines on the necessities of intervention work, including understanding the gang mindset, learning how to evaluate rumors for truth, and convincing young people to leave gangs. Each chapter deals with one key aspect of peacemaking, and the advice comes with anecdotes from Basheer's own life. Peace In the Hood includes real-life accounts of Basheer's interactions with gang members offering unique insight into gang culture. Its descriptions of the fairly new field of peacekeeping and intervention with its mix of story and advice make it both a perfect tool for students and teachers who study social justice and anyone simply looking for a fascinating read. Being the first book to offer a detailed description of the process of making peace within gangs, it's a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of gangs and the efforts to make peace within them.

Pete Carroll nació el 15 de septiembre de 1951 en San Francisco, California. Es un entrenador de fútbol americano ampliamente reconocido por su energía, liderazgo positivo y enfoque motivacional. Desde joven mostró interés por el deporte, destacándose como jugador en la secundaria y luego como back defensivo en la universidad. Aunque no tuvo una carrera profesional como jugador, encontró su verdadera vocación en el entrenamiento.

Carroll comenzó su carrera como entrenador asistente en distintas universidades antes de dar el salto a la NFL. Fue entrenador principal de los New York Jets y los New England Patriots, aunque sin demasiado éxito inicial. Sin embargo, alcanzó notoriedad al tomar las riendas del programa de fútbol americano de la Universidad del Sur de California (USC), donde construyó una de las dinastías más dominantes del fútbol universitario en la década de los 2000.

Posteriormente, regresó a la NFL como entrenador en jefe de los Seattle Seahawks, con quienes ganó el Super Bowl en 2014. Su estilo de liderazgo se basa en la confianza, la competencia constante y el fortalecimiento del carácter. Además de su éxito en el campo, Carroll es conocido por su enfoque filosófico sobre la vida y el deporte, y por fomentar una cultura positiva dentro de sus equipos.
