Book Description
What you are about to read is the first part of a multipart story about my life, parts of my life that involve gangbanging and not just any kind of gangbanging but gangbanging of the deepest type. Gangbanging on the notorious streets of South-Central Los Angeles. Moreover my life evolved from gangbanging to a leading role in America’s drug culture. While these things are true about my life, I want to make one thing very clear: nothing that you are about to read is meant to glorify either gangbanging or drug culture; in fact, it is my sincere hope that the telling of my life story will steer the youth and others away from both paths as they literally lead to dead ends. So if you are reading this, know that if I had it to do all over again, I wish that I had been dealt the kind of cards in life that would have prepared me for an Ivy League college like Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc. rather than state and federal prison.

Book Description
In Hood Legends, Michael Jourdain recounts how two men's ideology changed the world, and greatly influenced his life. He would come to know Stanley "Tookie" Williams, founder of the Crips, through his friendship with his sister, Francine, while he was a young teenager. Tookie's drive to be a powerful leader inspired Michael to start his own crew within the Van Ness Gang.At seventeen, Michael would meet Thomas "Tootie" Reese, the Godfather of black drug kinpins, and was impressed with his tremendous wealth. After he became a member of Tootie's organization, Michael would have all the money that he had ever dreamed of. But the death of his best friend, Raul, to gang violence, changed the course of his life. He was plotting the murder of Raul's killer when the government took his freedom.In prison, education changed Michael's life. He began to understand how his actions and the actions of those he knew and associated with were destroying black neighborhoods, and he became a social activist. His desires changed from wanting to be wealthy by any means necessary to wanting to save underserved neighborhoods from self-destructing, and to help young men and women convert their misguided street ambition into entrepreneurship.

Book Description
Witness is an anthology comprising 40 critical essays from an international cast of researchers who engage with a complex set of questions concerning notions of witnessing and attestation in 20th- and 21st-century Western culture. The contributors provide insightful perspectives on the subject of witnessing and suggest how this vital yet relatively unexplored concept lends itself to a wide range of media and subject areas. The essays critically reconsider existing scholarly tendencies which focus on historical evidence and the witness' vocalization of true remembrance. They do this by establishing important links with canonical texts, images, and voices within a theoretical and interpretive framework where questions of mediation, memorization, and representation are addressed.

Book Description
This conceptualized autobiography depicts the life and times of the author; who in every aspect, clearly defines the parameters of stretching limits. There is a noteable rising action incompassed in the plot that ses a major accident in Cancun, Mexico to drive the story. More important are the historical influences of pain which are derive pior to the accident, however, the recovery which closely follows has been delicately foreshadowed and discussed in detail by the themes of fate. There are many others character's demeanor but, it is my utmost intent to give the reader a main course set out across a blanket of words that shelter my hip-hop ebonics cultured narrative voice which is found in the novel.
