Crews: Gang Members Talk to Maria HinojosaNPR reporter Hinojosa's highly-acclaimed 1991 feature, in which she interviewed members of a New York City "crew" (gang), was the inspiration for this in-depth book. Her direct, nonjudgmental questions evoked poignant, surprising and sometimes shocking responses from these young people caught between violence and the struggle for survival in American cities.
