Reviews

Before the Fires is an excellent oral history--profound, moving and skillfully executed. It will compel readers to revise their understandings of both the South Bronx and New York City. --Robert W. Snyder, Rutgers University- Newark

Snyder, Rutgers University- Newark As hip-hop has become a metaphor for the ingenuity and perseverance of a generation of black and Latino/a youth raised in the South Bronx in the 1970s, Mark Naison and Robert Gumbs's oral history of the region is a timely reminder of the brilliance incubated in the South Bronx two generations Before the Fires. --Mark Anthony Neal, author of Looking for Leroy: Illegible Black Masculinities
