For the past five years, journalist Sarah Garland has followed the
lives of current and former gang members living in Hempstead on the
border of Garden City, Long Island. Affiliated with Mara
Salvatrucha and 18th Street, their troubling personal stories
expose the cruel realities of segregation, racial income gaps, and
poverty that lie hidden behind suburban white picket fences.
As Garland travels from Los Angeles to El Salvador and back to
the East Coast, she reveals a disturbing cycle of poverty in which
families, fleeing from troubled Central American cities, move into
America's suburban backyards, only to find the pattern of violence
repeating itself. Brilliantly reported and sensitively told, "Gangs
in Garden City" draws back the veil on a hidden, troubling
world.
