Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal History of Violence
Long before President Barack Obama praised his work as €œan all-encompassing, all-hands-on-deck anti-poverty effort that is literally saving a generation of children,€ and First Lady Michelle Obama called him €œone of my heroes,€ Geoffrey Canada was a small and scared boy growing up in the South Bronx. His childhood world was one where €œsidewalk boys€ learned the codes of the block and were ranked through the rituals of fist, stick, knife, and, finally, gun. In a stunning pairing, acclaimed comics creator Jamar Nicholas presents Canada€s raw and riveting account, one of the most authentic and important true stories of urban violence ever told.
