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.
