Written in solitary confinement, Kody Scott's memoir of sixteen
years as a gangbanger in Los Angeles was a searing best-seller and
became a classic, published in ten languages, with more than
300,000 copies in print in the United States alone. After pumping
eight blasts from a sawed-off shotgun at a group of rival gang
members, twelve-year-old Kody Scott was initiated into the L.A.
gang the Crips. He quickly matured into one of the most formidable
Crip combat soldiers, earning the name "Monster" for committing
acts of brutality and violence that repulsed even his fellow gang
members. When the inevitable jail term confined him to a
maximum-security cell, a complete political and personal
transformation followed: from Monster to Sanyika Shakur, black
nationalist, member of the New Afrikan Independence Movement, and
crusader against the causes of gangsterism. In a document that has
been compared to The Autobiography of Malcolm X and Eldridge
Cleaver's Soul on Ice, Shakur makes palpable the despair and decay
of America's inner cities and gives eloquent voice to one aspect of
the black ghetto experience today.
