Always Running: La Vida Loca: Gang Days in L.A.
Luis J. RodrÃguez’s stunning memoir—a brave, unflinching account of life in a Los Angeles street gang
Â
Luis J. RodrÃguez joined his first gang at age eleven. As a teenager, he witnessed the rise of some of the most notorious cliques and sets in Southern California and knew only a life of violence—one that revolved around drugs, gang wars, and police brutality. But unlike most of those around him, RodrÃguez found a way out when art, writing, and political activism rescued him from the brink of self-destruction.
Â
Always Running spares no detail in its vivid, brutally honest portrayal of street life and violence, and it stands as a powerful and unforgettable testimonial of gang life, by one of the most acclaimed Chicano writers of his generation.
Â
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Luis J. RodrÃguez including rare images from the author’s personal collection.
