A classic coming-of-age memoir that examines urban youth
violence and its causes
Long before U.S. News and
World Report named him one of America's Best Leaders and
Oprah Winfrey called him "an angel from God," Geoffrey
Canada was a vulnerable, scared boy growing up in the South
Bronx. Canada's world was one where "sidewalk" boys learned
the codes of the block and were ranked through the rituals
of fist, stick, and knife. Then the streets changed, and the
stakes got even higher. Canada relives a childhood in which
violence stalked every street corner.
