He quite approves of John Singleton's films (Boyz n the Hood and Baby Boy) because they manage to humanize and moreover to uncover the complexities of deracinated ghetto youth--rather than simply to depict them as antisocial hoodlums. When educated but deracinated young men in ghettos around London, Madrid, or Paris--existing somewhere between the modern and traditional worlds, with little possibility of living fully in either--attack what they see as a source of their distress, why be surprised?
