Motor City: The odyssey of the war on drugs, scales of injustice and two of America's Most wanted

Más información sobre el libro

This book is an examination of how the issues of drugs, race, and class became intertwined in the lives of the Motor City Brothers as they became two of America's Most Wanted. This material contributes to the ongoing problems of the so-called War on Drugs by highlighting anti-drug policies, social reform, and the criminal defense of the Motor City Brothers. This is not a definitive history of every event concerning the war on drugs or the Motor City Brothers. This exposition of the counterproductive results of said war include the execrable treatment of Blacks, Latinos, and the poor in America. The odyssey of the Motor City Brothers is not a tale glamorizing drugs, material possessions, or money; it is about how brothers David (aka D-Money) and Solomon (aka Cali) Johnson, from inner city America - the Motor City - rise to fame and fortune by allegedly building a business that involved international drug trafficking. Follow the journey of the Motor City Brothers, from Michigan to the United States penitentiary.
