KOTLOWITZ, ALEX There Are No Children Here : The Story of Two Boys Growing up in the Other America.
New York Doubleday 1991 0385265263 / 9780385265263 Hard Cover
324 pages, cloth, dj, very good. From the dj, 'THERE ARE NO CHILDREN HERE is that rare book that holds the power to change lives. In the spirit of James Agee, Alex Kotlowitz brings to our attention a side of America we could not otherwise know, exploring our embattled inner cities through the lives of two remarkable boys. Lafayette and Pharoah Rivers live in Chicago's Henry Horner Homes, a public housing complex disfigured by crime and neglect. Here, in the bleak heart of the other America, Lafayette and Pharoah fight the oddes, growing up where growing up is an achievement. Lafeyette, the older of the two, has been given responsibilities beyond his years. Because his father is frequently absent, Lafeyette acts as the man of the house, lending a sympathetic ear to his mother, shepherding Pharoah and their younger siblings away from the dangers of life at Horner. His younger brother Pharoah loves to write stories and excels in school. Sensitive and easily frightened, Pharoah miraculously rises above his family's crises--a temporary cutoff of welfare benefits, another brother's conviction on robbery charges--and the all-encompassing squalor of his environment. Alex Kotlowitz shows us firsthand Lafeyette and Pharoah's tender and special relationship, how they care for and nurture each other in the face of tragedy. Refusing to be hardened or defeated, they fight to hold on to some shreds of innocence, to enjoy school, to play, and to chase rainbows like other children. THERE ARE NO CHILDREN HERE is their heartbreaking and ultimately inspiring story.'
