Hearts & Hands: Creating Community in Violent Times

Hearts and Hands focuses on healing through community building. Empowered by 30 years of experience with gangs in Los Angeles and Chicago, Rodrguez offers a unique book of change. He makes concrete suggestions, shows how we can create nonviolent opportunities for youth today, and redirects kids into productive and satisfying lives. And he warns that we sacrifice community values for material gain when we incarcerate or marginalise people already on the edge of society.
