A review by ahpotts
Fist Stick Knife Gun: A Personal History of Violence by Geoffrey Canada

Powerful & interesting. Canada's experiences are clearly not unique, but the clarity with which he shares them really got my attention. And the last bit... when he gets a gun... that along with the afterword is really thought-provoking. I suspect that my students will be less surprised by some of this book than I am; hopefully it will also make them see things with a little distance.
