Download or read book A Ghetto Love Story written by Percy Levy and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A GHETTO LOVE STORY Just because a person is a crack smoker doesn't mean they have to be treated like "Pookie" from New Jack City. With that fact in mind, A Ghetto Love Story makes sure that OG Black responds to the slightest hint of disrespect with extreme violence. By living this way he manages to maintain a comfortable existence on the streets of Seattle as a small time drug hustler. That is until his 18-year-old daughter (who has been in foster care since she was a child) forces herself into his life with some questions that need to be answered. A Ghetto Love Story is the story of what happens when a young girl raised up in the suburbs gets rudely introduced to the darker side of existence. Not only does Tia go looking for her father at the wrong time (in the middle of a bloody street war), but she also winds up becoming emotionally attached to a young gang leader in a way that will without doubt change her life forever. This book should not be confused with other current Urban/Street Lit books on the market. A Ghetto Love Story is intended to be a very realistic look into the pain and misery of the African-American street culture. Although the story line contains hard language and extreme violence-which is simply part and parcel of street life-it likewise contains an underlying message of love and hope.

Download or read book Beyond the Ghetto Gates written by Michelle Cameron and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When French troops occupy the Italian port city of Ancona, freeing the city’s Jews from their repressive ghetto, it unleashes a whirlwind of progressivism and brutal backlash as two very different cultures collide. Mirelle, a young Jewish maiden, must choose between her duty—an arranged marriage to a wealthy Jewish merchant—and her love for a dashing French Catholic soldier. Meanwhile, Francesca, a devout Catholic, must decide if she will honor her marriage vows to an abusive and murderous husband when he enmeshes their family in the theft of a miracle portrait of the Madonna. Set during the turbulent days of Napoleon Bonaparte’s Italian campaign (1796–97), Beyond the Ghetto Gates is both a cautionary tale for our present moment, with its rising tide of anti-Semitism, and a story of hope—a reminder of a time in history when men and women of conflicting faiths were able to reconcile their prejudices in the face of a rapidly changing world.

Download or read book Between Good and Ghetto written by Nikki Jones and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With an outward gaze focused on a better future, Between Good and Ghetto reflects the social world of inner city African American girls and how they manage threats of personal violence. Drawing on personal encounters, traditions of urban ethnography, Black feminist thought, gender studies, and feminist criminology, Nikki Jones gives readers a richly descriptive and compassionate account of how African American girls negotiate schools and neighborhoods governed by the so-called "code of the street"ùthe form of street justice that governs violence in distressed urban areas. She reveals the multiple strategies they use to navigate interpersonal and gender-specific violence and how they reconcile the gendered dilemmas of their adolescence. Illuminating struggles for survival within this group, Between Good and Ghetto encourages others to move African American girls toward the center of discussions of "the crisis" in poor, urban neighborhoods.
