Ghetto Brother: Warrior to Peacemaker by Julian Voloj, Jeff Chang

3.0

I came across this by pure accident, looking for something else, and I'm glad I gave it a chance. It's a fascinating look at a piece of cultural history - of the gang situation in the South Bronx in the 70s and how the truce helped give birth to hop-hop.
I'm not a huge fan of the art, but the story is well told and insightful.
