This story is set in the early 1990s. Our prime character in this hood novel is Jacob Johnston, who was brought up in Brooklyn by his estranged mother. They were estranged due to his mother’s neglect and use of drugs. She is desperately trying to be a better mother, but Jacob can’t forget the hardships she bestowed on him at an early age. Jacob, who is mostly called Jake, takes on a proposal from a childhood friend that could be better summed up as making a deal with the devil. Jake’s family is now having money troubles, and Jake is ready to step in again and help out, as well as get his own place. These are but a few reasons he takes on this scheme. Shortly after his success with his childhood friend’s proposition, things begin to take on a boomerang effect and hit Jake where it hurts. Sort of a tit for tat becomes this for that, and lives are lost. Unbeknownst to Jake, his main foe is located in the Bronx. This menace has no plans to slow or back down from the war that has been waged. Will this hellish roller coaster come to an end before it’s too late? The only two things left in Jake’s mind were to live or die in the Broox.

A professional (well cited) introduction to local politics with the state, national and international connections made evident. The book endeavors to make political understanding accessible and digestible to those least interested or inclined to study it. Social and political empowerment is the benchmark, with a sense of humor and satire. Chapters are divided to present thoughts and feelings in different writing genre (essay, letters, diary, and poetry). The book champions experience over research and creativity or passivity. The emphasis is on progressive thought appropriate for communities of color. The book suggests that contrary thinking is productive in a capitalistic democracy.

Selected as One of the Best Books of the 21st Century by The New York Times Set amid the havoc of the War on Drugs, this New York Times bestseller is an "astonishingly intimate" (New York magazine) chronicle of one family’s triumphs and trials in the South Bronx of the 1990s. “Unmatched in depth and power and grace. A profound, achingly beautiful work of narrative nonfiction…The standard-bearer of embedded reportage.” —Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted In her classic bestseller, journalist Adrian Nicole LeBlanc immerses readers in the world of one family with roots in the Bronx, New York. In 1989, LeBlanc approached Jessica, a young mother whose encounter with the carceral state is about to forever change the direction of her life. This meeting redirected LeBlanc’s reporting, taking her past the perennial stories of crime and violence into the community of women and children who bear the brunt of the insidious violence of poverty. Her book bears witness to the teetering highs and devastating lows in the daily lives of Jessica, her family, and her expanding circle of friends. Set at the height of the War on Drugs, Random Family is a love story—an ode to the families that form us and the families we create for ourselves. Charting the tumultuous struggle of hope against deprivation over three generations, LeBlanc slips behind the statistics and comes back with a riveting, haunting, and distinctly American true story.

Community activist Carolyn McLaughlin takes us on a journey of the South Bronx through the eyes of its community members. Facing burned-out neighborhoods of the 1970s, the community fought back. McLaughlin illustrates the spirit of the community in creating a vibrant, diverse culture and its decades-long commitment to develop nonprofit housing and social-services, and to advocate for better education, health care, and a healthier environment. For the South Bronx to remain a safe haven for poor families, maintaining affordable housing is the central—but most challenging—task. South Bronx Battles is the comeback story of a community that was once in crisis but now serves as a beacon for other cities to rebuild, while keeping their neighborhoods affordable.
