Book Description
This is the story of a young gangsta in Los Angeles who is stuck in the street life. His purpose and testing in life is well understood. Amongst his army, he is considered a General, a Genius, and a good friend. His leadership and honesty is well-respected by his "O.G.'s." The young gangsta is known by the name, "Shadow." He finds love in a woman he knocked, simply by stimulating her mind with kind words and honesty. His relationship with God is close. The world in which he lives leaves no room for error. "Hood-fellaz" gives outsiders a look inside the dungeon of hell. If you read carefully and closely, you'll also feel the fire. The story travels in many directions: from rags to riches from the hood to the Cartel. This book answers lots of questions for the Government - "The Rich" as to why those that live in the lower class of society do what they do. lt also helps psychologists understand what goes through the mind of one not as fortunate as others. Through all the "shoot'em up, bang-bang" there is a message. This book isn't about the Bloods or Crips. It's about morals, principles,conduct, money, power, respect, codes, rules, and regulations; life and death; love and hate. Once you open this book, you will enter a new world. You've probably met the "hood." Now it's time to meet the "fellaz."

Hurricane Katrina in Transatlantic Perspective
Author: Romain Huret
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807158445
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
"There is no such thing as a 'natural' disaster," writes Romain Huret in his introduction to this multidisciplinary study of the events surrounding and the legacy of Hurricane Katrina. Though nature produced Katrina's rising waters and destructive winds, a vast array of manmade factors shaped the scope of the storm's impact as well as the local and national response to it. In Hurricane Katrina in Transatlantic Perspective, American and European scholars approach this infamous storm and its aftermath through a variety of disciplines, from music to geography to anthropology, creating a nuanced understanding of how society reacts to and later remembers times of disaster. Richard Campanella and Romain Huret examine the particular geographical and political mix that set the stage for Katrina's devastation, especially among the poorest populations of New Orleans and the Gulf South. Jean Kempf, James Boyden, Andrew Diamond, and Thomas Jessen Adams address the ideological biases and racial stereotypes that infused local and national commentary in the days and weeks after the storm. Finally, Bruce Raeburn, Sara Le Menestrel, Anne M. Lovell, and Randy J. Sparks explore the impact of this powerful tropical event on the city's institutions and cultural organizations. Hurricane Katrina in Transatlantic Perspective offers a profound and innovative collection of insights on one of the most significant environmental catastrophes in U.S. history, forcing us to examine the cultural actors that transformed a natural disaster into a humanitarian crisis.
