From the authors of Nation Conscious Rap comes a powerfully raw,
intimate history of gang life in South Central L.A. In detailed
interviews, gang members of the Crips and Bloods open up on a wide
range of issues, including the bonds of the gang brotherhood, the
significance of gansta rap, the despair of welfare, and the scourge
of drugs. A powerful and shockingly candid account of South Central
Los Angeles's notorious street gangs, as seen through the eyes of
men who escaped their grip and are now working for peace and unity
in the Black community. This explosive book brings to life the
brutalizing and exhilarating experience of gang life through the
voices of the gang members themselves. Thirteen former Bloods and
Crips talk about the solutions to the culture of killings and
drive-by shootings, the scourge of drugs in their communities, and
the often justifiable distrust of the police. Their words will
compel everyone to acknowledge the urgent need to put an end to the
blatant racism and violence in our society.
