Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal History of Violence in America
By Geoffrey Canada
Appropriate for older high school students, teachers, parents and administrators, this non-fiction account of street violence in the South Bronx provides a glimpse of the realities of tension and escalation among youth. A modern activist, Canada describes his childhood and adolescence with insight into the sources of violence and real positive solutions to the culture of violence and aggression dominant in many communities today.
