Readers will be energized by the book Kirkus Reviews calls a "heartfelt, authentic guide for combatting community violence. For over a decade, Cobe Williams has been a violence interrupter, a highly trained conflict resolution expert working to stop the killing. Alongside thousands of workers across the country, many of whom he trained, Cobe intervenes in street conflicts before they result in murder. Interrupting Violence follows his evolution from gang leader to vanguard of a social justice movement. More than a memoir, Interrupting Violence spans three generations of trauma to portray a radically optimistic vision for addressing urban violence. Born into the notorious Black Disciples, Cobe became a drug dealer, hustler, and shot-caller. His father, an influential gang member, was murdered before Cobe turned eleven. Five men, his fathers so-called friends, beat him to death in the lobby of a public housing project. Cobe spent years seeking answers about what happened that night. As Cobe rose through the ranks of the Black Disciplesat one time commanding over one hundred men throughout the city while still in high schoola gang war turned his world upside down. Its escalation overshadowed his ascent. Stoked by police, who fanned the conflicts flames, the war would engulf Cobes friends and family, nearly costing him his life. Ultimately, Cobe would end up behind bars for attempted murder, a crime he didnt commit. Interrupting Violence follows Cobe as he undertakes his redemption journey, offering new hope for the nations most violent communities. As the country wrestles with the inequities exposed by the coronavirus pandemic and the complex intersections of urban violence, racial injustice, police brutality, and poverty in the aftermath of George Floyds murder, this book provides an inspiring blueprint. Cobes story demonstrates how the country can resolve the issues plaguing our inner cities, taking readers into an often misunderstood and misrepresented aspect of the Black experience in America....4646302Interrupting Violence516543https://www.gandhi.com.mx/interrupting-violence-9781538166888/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4457225/image.jpg?v=638873400045930000https://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4457215/image.jpg?v=638489740238730000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781538166888_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_Part memoir and part call to action, Interrupting Violence is a blueprint for cities across America looking for a new way to address community violence.
