When Crack Was King: A People's History of a Misunderstood Era by Donovan X. Ramsey

hopeful informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

I’ve never head the crack epidemic talked about with such humanity. Ramsey’s writing in When Crack Was King brings the reader both knowledge and empathy. His choice to follow narratives of specific people framed in the context of the historic events that shaped these narratives, is a brilliant method of compelling and educational writing.
