Dal ghetto al mainstream: una storia di riscatto

Starting from the identification of some manifestations of the disaster in the city of Los Angeles as related in the essay Everything Now by Rosecrans Baldwin, this short writing offers an alternative look at the mainstream narrative of the city and of the whole region of California. In particular, it proposes to turn it into a Black narrative and to look at the mostly unknown experience of the Compton Cowboys and at the pop culture stories that accompanied their rise over the last couple of years as a sign of revival and redemption.
