Dennis Huggins drifts into the dangerous life of drug dealer and discovers that, hard as the struggle for respect on the streets is, the struggle for love is harder still. At least Dennis has involved parents looking out for him; too many of his friends have no guidance other than that offered by their fellow shottaz, or the black Muslims.
Brixton, twenty years after the race riots. Teenager Dennis Huggins drifts into the easy, dangerous life of the shotta - or drug dealer - and discovers that, hard as the struggle for respect on the streets is, the struggle for love is harder still. At least Dennis has involved parents looking out for him; too many of his friends drift through life with no positive influences or moral code; their only ''family'' their fellow dealers. Wheatle brilliantly evokes the temptations of the thug life for young black men growing up in London''s ''Dirty South'' - this is a fast, compelling novel that offers no easy answers, but refuses to shy away from asking the difficult questions.
