What does that do to the spirit of individuals and community? Drawing on his decades of experience, Alex Kotlowitz set out to chronicle one summer in the city, writing about individuals who have emerged from the violence and whose stories capture the capacity--and the breaking point--of the human heart and soul. The result is a spellbinding collection of deeply intimate profiles that upend what we think we know about gun violence in America. Among others, we meet a man who as a teenager killed a rival gang member and twenty years later is still trying to come to terms with what he's done; a devoted school social worker struggling with her favorite student, who refuses to give evidence in the shooting death of his best friend; the witness to a wrongful police shooting who can't shake what he has seen; and an aging former gang leader who builds a place of refuge for himself and his friends. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 650 0 $a Youth and violence $z Chicago. $z Chicago. 650 0 $a Violent crimes $z Chicago. $z Chicago. 650 0 $a Victims of violent crimes $z Chicago. $z Chicago. 650 0 $a African American youth $z Chicago $z Chicago $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Chicago $z Chicago $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 651 0 $a Chicago (Ill.) $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190330012054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2EBDF17E52B111E9B3ECE36E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
