• catalog abstract "With Hearts and Hands: Creating Community in Violent Times, Luis Rodriguez positions himself as mentor, elder, and advocate for Latino youth at risk, and in fact for all of America's young people. Hearts and Hands deals with many of the same difficult issues encountered in Always Running, Rodriguez's memoir of his teen years as a gang member in L.A., but with a focus on healing through community building. Empowered by his own experiences as a peacemaker with gangs in Los Angeles, Chicago, and many cities across the country, Rodriguez offers us a unique book, one that speaks of change and progress not from a legislative floor or an ivory tower, but from the trenches where the laws of the gang rule the community. He makes concrete suggestions on how we can create nonviolent opportunities to redirect kids toward productive, satisfying lives and to set up venues for healing against the tide of a society bent on zero tolerance. He warns that we sacrifice community values for material gain by incarcerating or marginalizing people on the edge of society. Hearts and Hands will change the way in which you approach and listen to our youth.".
