5.0 out of 5 stars Useni Perkins' Book Is Long Overdue, January 25, 2009

Aung Htun (811 Lavina St. Fort Wayne IN 46802-4030) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Explosion of Chicago's Black Street Gangs-1900 to Present (English and English Edition) (Paperback)

"USENI PERKINS' BOOK IS LONG OVERDUE.
It is not a how to solve all of our black youth gang problems.
Nor is it the result of the current crisis in gang relations.
Perkins writes from the perspective of a black inside to the gang phenomenon....."
[from the introduction by John R. Porter, Ph.D., Chicago, Illinois, 1987]
