   Who are the Amboy Dukes?

   • The Amboy Dukes come across as decent, average kids who were destroyed by the horrible neighborhood they had to live in. Having grown up in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, not far from Brownsville, where the story takes place, I must say that author Shulman very much captures and conveys the atmosphere of 1950s Brownsville.

   Was the Amboy Dukes a Jewish gang?

   • I was not aware when I read the book that the Amboy Dukes was a Jewish gang, nor that kids joined gangs for protection against other ethnic groups in impoverished, tough areas of New York City and Brooklyn. (I grew up in a solidly middle-class town where there were no gangs.)
