In this autobiography Dimas Salaberrios shares
his struggles and the dangers he faced during his involvement in gang warfare
in New York City. As his gang vied with other gangs for power and control
of the streets, Salaberrios went from feeling at the top of his game one day,
to being shot at and robbed the next. Salaberrios gives us a detailed
account of his life before he turned towards Christianity and away from a life
in the streets.
The author maintains a fast pace throughout most
of Street God, but in the final chapters slows down to a snail's
pace to explain his religious journey and his founding of a new church in the
Bronx. Students who have enjoyed Tyrell, Homeboyz and We Were Hereand
are ready for a riveting biography, should be sure to pick up this one.--Claudio
