      By Younge, Gary
       [2016]., General, Nation Books Call No: 303.6 Y78a   Edition: First print edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "On an average day in America, seven young people aged nineteen or under will be shot dead. Guardian journalist Gary Younge tells the stories of the lives lost during the course of a single day in the United States. It could have been any day, but Younge has chosen November 23, 2013. From Jaiden Dixon (age 9), shot point-blank by his mother's ex-boyfriend on his doorstep in Ohio, to Pedro Dado Cortez (age 16), shot by an enemy gang on a street corner in California, the narrative crisscrosses the country over a period of twenty-four hours to reveal the powerful human stories behind the statistics. Far from a dry account of gun policy in the United States or a polemic about the dangers of gun violence, the book is a gripping chronicle of an ordinary but deadly day, and a series of character portraits of young people taken from us far too soon and those they left behind. Whether it's a father's unspeakable grief over his son who was at the wrong place at the wrong time, a mentor who tries to channel his rage by organizing, or a friend and neighbor who finds strength in faith, the lives lost on that day and the lives left behind become, in Younge's hands, impossible to ignore, or to forget. A searing portrait of youth, family, and the way that lives can be shattered in an instant. At a time when it has become indisputable that Americans need to rethink their position on guns, this narrative work puts a human face on the collateral damage of gun deaths across the country."--Provided by publisher.

      By Young, R. J.
       2018., Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Call No: BLK Bio Y68l    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: The quest, funny and searing, of a young man black man learning to shoot-a fascinating odyssey into race, guns, and self-protection in America The most RJ Young knew about guns was that they could get him killed. Until, recently married to a white woman and in desperate need of a way to relate to his gun-loving father-in-law, Young does the unimaginable: he accepts Charles's gift of a Glock. Despite, or because of, the racial rage and fear he experiences among white gun owners (Ain't you supposed to be shooting a basketball?"), Young determines to get good, really good, with a gun. Let It Bang is the compelling story of the author's unexpected obsession-he eventually becomes an NRA-certified pistol instructor-and of his deep dive into the heart of America's gun culture: what he sees as the domino effect of white fear, white violence, black fear, rinse, repeat. Young's original reporting on shadow industries like US Law Shield, which insures and defends people who report having shot someone in self-defense, and on the newly formed National African American Gun Association, gives powerful insight into the dynamic. Through indelible profiles, Young brings us up to the current rocketing rise in gun ownership among black Americans, most notably women. Let It Bang is an utterly original look at American gun culture from the inside, and from the other side-and, most movingly, the story of a young black man's hard-won nonviolent path to self-protection.
