Book Review: ‘Before Crips’ Dismantles Dominant Narrative on Gangs

Danny Shaw November 29, 2022 Danny Shaw

John C. Quicker and Akil S. Batani-Khalfani’s new book, "Before Crips: Fussin’, Cussin’, and Discussin’ among South Los Angeles Juvenile Gangs," exposes mainstream stigmas and half-truths surrounding street groups. It also explores the true history of the South Los Angeles street organizations that predated the Crips and the Bloods. Danny Shaw reviews the book.

Cover of book, Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power, 10th anniversary edition by Amy Sonnie and James Tracey, with a foreword by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
