An engrossing and counter view of one of the most dangerous elements of American urban history, this graphic novel tells the true story of Benjy Melendez, a Bronx legend, son of Puerto-Rican immigrants, who founded, at the end of the 1960s, the notorious Ghetto Brothers gang. From the seemingly bombed-out ravages of his neighborhood, wracked by drugs, poverty, and violence, he managed to extract an incredibly positive energy from this riot ridden era: his multiracial gang promoted peace rather than violence. After initiating a gang truce, the Ghetto Brothers held weekly concerts on the streets or in abandoned buildings, which fostered the emergence of hip-hop. Melendez also began to reclaim his Jewish roots after learning about his family's dramatic crypto-Jewish background.

Benjy Melendez, founder of the Ghetto Brothers street gang, social activist, and lead singer of the Ghetto Brothers band, now tells his story: a memoir of life as a late 1960s/early 1970s street gang member, of a musician on the cusp of stardom, a fighter for peace, and a man on a quest to reclaim his Jewish roots. With chilling detail and candor, Benjy Melendez opens up as never before in 'Ghetto Brother' (Benjy Melendez with Amir Said). Telling the story of his family, growing up first in the West Village in in the '60s, his family's forced move to the South Bronx, his life in a street gang, and his transformation to a peace ambassador, 'Ghetto Brother' is a riveting memoir that explores the human condition. Melendez takes us back to the forgotten New York of the late 1960s and early 1970s that gave rise to New York's infamous street gang era. But at its core, Ghetto Brother examines the route from boy to man in uncharted territory, and it renders a vivid portrait of what identity means and what happens when that identity dissolves and grows anew. Evocative and filled with the sights and sounds of a changing New York and a transformative life, 'Ghetto Brother' is the fascinating chronicle of a remarkable journey and an extraordinary leader.

Ghetto Brother- uma lenda do Bronx narra a história de Benjy Melendez, líder do grupo nova-iorquino Ghetto Brothers, responsável pela pacificação entre as gangues no Bronx dos anos 1970. Nesta HQ, Julian Voloj e Claudia Ahlering mostram como o movimento que pôs fim à violência e à rivalidade entre os jovens no subúrbio de Nova York possibilitou o surgimento um dos mais importantes movimentos culturais do século 20: o hip hop. Os Ghetto Brothers eram uma das principais gangues do South Bronx, em Nova York, no início dos anos 1970. O assassinato de um de seus membros, Black Benjie, por um integrante de uma gangue rival colocou em xeque o frágil equilíbrio de forças entre os grupos. Quando todos imaginavam que uma guerra iria eclodir, Benjy Melendez, o líder dos Ghetto Brothers, conseguiu fechar um histórico acordo de paz. A violência e a rivalidade cederam espaço para o surgimento de um dos mais importantes movimentos culturais do século 20: o hip hop. Gangues viraram crews – como a Black Spades, liderada por Afrika Bambaataa, que se tornou Universal Zulu Nation e criou o célebre refrão “paz, união, amor e diversão”. Com o fim da guerra das gangues, Benjy Melendez passou a investigar suas próprias raízes. Filho de um casal de porto-riquenhos com hábitos religiosos peculiares, Melendez descobre em conversas com os pais e pessoas da comunidade que sua família tinha origem marrana, eram judeus convertidos forçadamente ao cristianismo, que continuavam praticando seus antigos costumes de forma clandestina. Benjy passa a frequentar o centro judaico do Bronx e se reconcilia com seu passado.

La más reciente historia de los conflictos raciales en el New York de los 70, el auge de la igualdad/desigualdad social en los ghettos y el origen del hip hop como género musical contestatario por excelencia. Benjy Melendez, hijo de inmigrantes portorriqueños, creció en el Bronx y fundó, a finales de los años sesenta, los Ghetto Brothers. De su barrio devastado por las drogas, la violencia y la pobreza, de su época marcada por los movimientos contestatarios, Benjy extrae una energía formidable y una decisión ultra positiva: su banda será multirracial y pacífica. Entre sus muchas acciones, la banda organiza conciertos semanales para todos los públicos, tanto en las calles como en edificios abandonados, desde donde emergerá el movimiento hip hop. La crítica ha dicho... «La tregua de las bandas con Benjy Melendez y los Ghetto Brothers fue poderosa. Era el momento de dejar las armas e intentar organizarse. Fue intenso, fue determinante, todos estábamos en el mismo juego.» Afrika Bambaataa, dj, productor y activista «La historia del Bronx de los años setenta es la historia de los legendarios Guetto Brothers.» Jeff Chang, autor de Can't Stop, Won't Stop: A History of the Hip Hop Generation «Nos habla con la honestidad de quien ha llegado a conocerse a sí mismo.» «Es de agradecer que existan obras como esta.» Fancueva «Centra lahistoria en la vida de Benjamin Melendez y aporta datos poco conocidos sobre él que enriquecen aún más su leyenda.» Yorokobu

Illuminates tensions and transformations in today's Germany by examining literary, filmic, and musical treatments of the ghetto metaphor. Accounts of how Germany has changed since unification often portray the Berlin Republic as a new Germany that has left the Nazi past and Cold War division behind and entered the new millennium as a peaceful, worldly, and cautiously proud nation. Closer inspection, however, reveals tensions between such views and the realities of a country that continues to struggle with racism, provincialism, and fear of the perceived Other. Mainstream media foster such fears by describing violence in ghetto schools, failed integration, and the loss of society's core values. The city emerges as a key site not only of ethnic and political tension but of social change. Maria Stehle illuminates these tensions and transformations by following the metaphor of the ghetto in literary works from the 1990s by Feridun Zaimoglu, in German ghettocentric films from the late 1990s and the early twenty-first century, and in hip-hop and rap music of the same periods. In their representations of ghettos, authors, filmmakers, musicians, and performers redefine and challenge provincialism and nationalism and employ transcultural frameworks for their diverging political agendas. By contextualizing these discussions within social and political developments, this study illuminates the complexities that define Germany today for scholars and students across the disciplines of German, European, cultural, urban, and media studies. Maria Stehle is Assistant Professor of German at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

2017 Christian Book Award Finalist Thirty captivating profiles of Christians who risked everything to rescue their Jewish neighbors from Nazi terror during the Holocaust. My Brother's Keeper unfolds powerful stories of Christians from across denominations who gave everything they had to save the Jewish people from the evils of the Holocaust. This unlikely group of believers, later honored by the nation of Israel as "The Righteous Among the Nations," includes ordinary teenage girls, pastors, priests, a German army officer, a former Italian fascist, an international spy, and even a princess. In one gripping profile after another, these extraordinary historical accounts offer stories of steadfast believers who together helped thousands of Jewish individuals and families to safety. Many of these everyday heroes perished alongside the very people they were trying to protect. There is no doubt that all of their stories showcase the best of humanity -- even in the face of unthinkable evil.
