This paper analyses the recent evolution of transnational youth street groups in the
cities of Barcelona and Madrid (Spain) in the last two decades, with special focus
in the Latin Kings and Queens group and based on the definitions and uses of the
terms borders, peripheries and mediation. Our data presents part of the preliminary
ethnographic results of the research carried on from 2019 until mid-2021 and focuses
on the comparison of the current situation of the groups in both cities, attending
to factors as internal structure, link to the territory and their position in the social
space. In order to do this, we pay attention to the differences in the groups and the
mediation processes in which they are implied, either internal or external, considering
the possibilities of both natural and formal mediation.
