A Time Before Crack

€40.00
Following the blockbuster success of "Back in the Days," Shabazz captures the style and spirit of an era long gone. Documenting the streets of New York City from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, his photographs reveal the families, the poses, and the players who made this age extraordinary.
In 'A Time Before Crack', Jamel Shabazz provides a personal narrative of growing up in the housing projects during a period of significant social change. The book details his experiences with poverty, community dynamics, and the influence of the environment on his development. It serves as both a memoir and a sociological reflection on the realities of urban life, capturing the atmosphere of a specific era before the widespread impact of the crack cocaine epidemic.
