| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index Acknowledgments -- Books making a killing : an introduction -- From rage to rap and prison to print : social, cultural, and commercial contexts of emergence -- Homeboys between hard covers : scholarly approaches to the study of gang memoirs -- Killer books: the representations and politics of violence in gang memoirs -- Brothers who could kill with words : language, literacy, and the quest for education in gang memoirs -- Murderer, monster, novelist, or Nobel nominee? : press reception and media constructions -- Quick reads for reluctant readers : consuming gang memoirs -- Conclusions: still running -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index The publication of Sanyika Shakur's Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A. Gang Membe r in 1993 generated a huge amount of excitement in literary circles-- New York Times book critic Michiko Kakutani deemed it a "shocking and galvanic book"--And set off a new publishing trend of gang memoirs in the 1990s. The memoirs showcased tales of violent confrontation and territorial belonging but also offered many of the first journalistic and autobiographical accounts of the much-mythologized gang subculture. In The Culture and Politics of Contemporary Street Gang Memoirs, Josephine Metcalf focuses on three of these memoirs--Shakur's Monster ; Luis J. Rodriguez's Always Running: La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A. ; and Stanley "Tookie" Williams's Blue Rage, Black Redemption --as key representatives of the gang autobiography. Metcalf examines the conflict among violence, thrilling sensationalism, and the authorial desire to instruct and warn competing within these works. The narrative arcs of the memoirs themselves rest on the process of conversion from brutal, young gang bangers to nonviolent, enlightened citizens. Metcalf analyzes the emergence, production, marketing, and reception of gang memoirs. Through interviews with Rodriguez, Shakur, and Barbara Cottman Becnel (Williams's editor), Metcalf reveals both the writing and publishing processes. This book analyzes key narrative conventions, specifically how diction, dialogue, and narrative arcs shape the works. The book also explores how the memoirs are consumed. This interdisciplinary study--fusing literary criticism, sociology, ethnography, reader-response study, and editorial theory--brings scholarly attention to a popular, much-discussed, but understudied modern expression |
