Rising from the Ashes: Los Angeles, 1992. Edward Jae Song Lee, Latasha Harlins, Rodney King, and a City on Fire
Author: Paula Yoo
Publisher: WW Norton
ISBN: 1324030917
Category : Young Adult Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
Award-winning author Paula Yoo delivers a compelling, nuanced account of Los Angeles’s 1992 uprising and its impact on its Korean and Black American communities. In the spring of 1992, after a jury returned not guilty verdicts in the trial of four police officers charged in the brutal beating of a Black man, Rodney King, Los Angeles was torn apart. Thousands of fires were set, causing more than a billion dollars in damage. In neighborhoods abandoned by the police, protestors and storeowners exchanged gunfire. More than 12,000 people were arrested and 2,400 injured. Sixty-three died. In Rising from the Ashes, award-winning author Paula Yoo draws on the experience of the city’s Korean American community to narrate and illuminate this uprising, from the racism that created economically disadvantaged neighborhoods torn by drugs and gang-related violence, to the tensions between the city’s minority communities. At its heart are the stories of three lives and three families: those of Rodney King; of Latasha Harlins, a Black teenager shot and killed by a Korean American storeowner; and Edward Jae Song Lee, a Korean American man killed in the unrest. Woven throughout, and set against a minute-by-minute account of the uprising, are the voices of dozens others: police officers, firefighters, journalists, business owners, and activists whose recollections give texture and perspective to the events of those five days in 1992 and their impact over the years that followed.

Book Description
The writer brings alive the story of an inner circle of friends who are sworn to protect an American girl of Mexican and Italian descent after losing her mother at the age of twelve years old. It is a story of how rape sucks the life out of its victims, a heart-thumping drama of how the suspects are held to an innocent plea over a period of twenty-five years, until DNA evidence proves otherwise. It is a story of how the grandfather’s sanity is pushed to its limit, but the bonds of friendship within the inner circle of friends are not broken. The writer weighs in on the cruel burden of becoming pregnant after a rape, and allowing the child to be born while experiencing the painful future and mental destruction of the victim’s recovery. Just trying to stay alive after the tragedy is difficult. It is a story of how revenge becomes a resourceful tactic to win back the dignity of a rape victim in the shadow of a painful situation, and how an eighty year old ex-police officer and grandfather becomes a smart criminal mastermind by casting revenge on the accusers. The accusers painfully discover it was the greatest mistake of their past when they raped a college student just before her graduation ceremony. A valuable pledge of loyalty to the victim becomes a painful lesson to the accusers.
