Living in the Jackson Youth Home for the last four years, she has endured an endless number of fights, inherited one authentic friend, and left with a potential future filled with defeat. Or is it? With no family, no savings, and graduating out of a failing system, Angel is forced to find her own way, quickly learning that the streets aren't meant for a young woman. Unfortunately, she is also finding out that life is indeed like a box of chocolate, and at every turn, she is sampling a different treat and trick like never before. Heart wrenching. Raw. And unforgiving. It's survival of the fittest, and if Angel isn't prepared, she'll be swallowed whole.

Book excerpt: In America?s most dangerous city theirs only two ways to survive, one is by the grace of God?.the other is with a gun and a strong team. Taino Ramirez chose the second option, the same one his father, uncles, and older cousins chose. They say it?s a hood everywhere, which might be true but none of them are quite like Camden, New Jersey. While most ?hoods?, are part of a larger city center, Camden is just all hood. No nice part?.just area?s that are a little more tolerable than others. In the early 80?s while crack cocaine was sweeping the nation?Camden had already been swept under! Camden, North Camden in particular, was a war zone during these times. Most weren?t brave enough to venture to this part of the city but for some there was no choice?.this was home. Taino was one of the people that called North Camden home until he went down for murder at the young age of 17. While incarcerated he made a lot of changes mentally but in actuality all he knew was the game. While in prison he began hearing that his nephew (Juan Ramirez) Jay and his best friend Quan have been in the streets dabbling in the drug game. He constantly tells Jay about the dangers of the streets but in the back of his mind he feels he has one more run in him and that Jay and Quan could be vital assets, if schooled right. This time he wants to do it big and then go legit, but he keeps all these ideas to himself. The Sons of Sin is a story of trust, love, loyalty, deceit and double crossing. It?s a ghetto love story filled with drama and compassion; it also gives an accurate view of what?s going on in the hood. It?s a lesson of how the game is not loyal to anyone, it eats up families and doesn?t care who it destroys. It?s a story about growing up to fast and chasing illusions. It?s about the youth growing up in the nation?s poorest city where jobs and role models are few and far between. It?s about the youth trying to survive but in all the wrong ways.

Download or read book Ghetto Religiosity 2000 written by Khalil Amani and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghetto Religiosity 2000 is the first of a three-part series. It is the result of Mr. Amani's many years of study and disillusionment with organized religion. Often angry and filled with ebonics and gangsta language, the author's quest is to reach those who have been removed from religion... those of us who have seen the church and the preacher manipulate the laity for their own selfish filthy lucre. If you're looking to read a watered-down "Jesus loves the world" text, this is not for you! This book is a hardcore, tellin'-it-like-it-is, new-jack, diatribe on the errors of Judeo-Christian Thought. WHO SHALL MAKE IT PLAIN? WHO SHALL TEACH THE YOUTH? WHO SHALL SET THEM FREE? —Khalil Amani, a religious gangsta Khalil Amani is a native of Miami, Florida where he was baptized at the age of seven into the Baptist Church. After high school, Khalil was introduced to Black Nationalism, fraternal brotherhood, Freemasonry, the Nation of Islam, and the Five Percent Nation. None of these held his attention until he was introduced to the Nation of Yahweh where he joined and quickly rose to the rank of Elder. By age 23, Khalil headed the Temple of Yahweh in Newark, New Jersey. After five years and the realization that he was part of a murderous cult, headed by a man claiming to be God, he left the sect in search of his identity and the true meaning of religion. Left spiritually devastated by this experience, Khalil resorted to the street-life where he indulged in every vice, from selling drugs to becoming an exotic dancer to stick-up man to womanizer. Finally, Khalil became the "Unofficial Spokesman" for ex-members of the Yahweh cult and testified against the man he once called father. For this he had to enter the Witness Protection Program. This brotha has been through some sect! At the University of Nebraska at Omaha, he majored in Black Studies and Religion and graduated from San Diego Mesa College, San Diego, California with a degree in English.

Download or read book d Ghetto written by Isaiah Trunk and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his comprehensive examination of the Lódz Ghetto, originally published in Yiddish in 1962, historian Isaiah Trunk sought to describe and explain the tragedy that befell the Jews imprisoned in the first major ghetto imposed by the Germans after they invaded Poland in 1939. Lódz had been home to nearly a quarter million Jews. When the Soviet military arrived in January 1945, they found 877 living Jews and the remains of a vast industrial enterprise that had employed masses of enslaved Jewish laborers. Based on an exhaustive study of primary sources in Yiddish, Hebrew, Polish, German, and Russian, Isaiah Trunk, a former resident of Lódz, reconstructs the organization of the ghetto and discusses its provisioning; forced labor; diseases and mortality; crime and deportations; living conditions; political, social, and cultural life; and resistance. Included are translations of the 141 documents that Trunk reproduced in his volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grandchildren of the Ghetto (1892) is a novel by Israel Zangwill. Raised in London by parents from Latvia and Poland, Zangwill understood the plight of the city’s Jewish community firsthand. Having risen through poverty to become an educator and author, he dedicated his career to the voiceless, the oppressed, and the needy, advocating for their rights and bearing witness to their suffering in some of the most powerful novels and stories of the Victorian era. “People who have been living in a Ghetto for a couple of centuries, are not able to step outside merely because the gates are thrown down, nor to efface the brands on their souls by putting off the yellow badges. The isolation imposed from without will have come to seem the law of their being.” As a Jewish immigrant who grew up in poverty in London, Israel Zangwill knows that the condition of life in the ghetto changes not just lives, but mentalities. Even if the Jews living in squalor on the East End of London were given the same rights as native Britons, they would still live with fear and doubt every day of their lives. In the second novel of his Ghetto series, Zangwill explores the day-to-day existence of these very people, illuminating their hopes and their dreams, illustrating their struggle to uphold traditions threatened by assimilation and the increasing secularism of modern life. A new generation experiences wealth and comfort beyond the wildest dreams of those who came before them. But what will they do with their newfound privilege? The tales of Jewish life in Grandchildren of the Ghetto earned Zangwill comparisons to Dickens upon publication and helped to establish him as an author with a gift for intensive character study and a passion for political themes. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Israel Zangwill’s Grandchildren of the Ghetto is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book Voices from the Warsaw Ghetto written by David G. Roskies and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The powerful writings and art of Jews living in the Warsaw Ghetto Hidden in metal containers and buried underground during World War II, these works from the Warsaw Ghetto record the Holocaust from the perspective of its first interpreters, the victims themselves. Gathered clandestinely by an underground ghetto collective called Oyneg Shabes, the collection of reportage, diaries, prose, artwork, poems, jokes, and sermons captures the heroism, tragedy, humor, and social dynamics of the ghetto. Miraculously surviving the devastation of war, this extraordinary archive encompasses a vast range of voices—young and old, men and women, the pious and the secular, optimists and pessimists—and chronicles different perspectives on the topics of the day while also preserving rapidly endangered cultural traditions. Described by David G. Roskies as “a civilization responding to its own destruction,” these texts tell the story of the Warsaw Ghetto in real time, against time, and for all time.
