Summary: Lean Dash cuts away all misconceptions.
Comment: I read Leon Dash's book "Rosa Lee" as a college assignment. He is an exceptional writer who cuts away all the preconceived ideas and misconceptions. I was thrilled to find another book by Leon Dash. This book, "When Children Want Children" opened my eyes to the plight of many young people in poor neighborhoods. "When Children want Children" and "Rosa Lee" should both be required reading for all teachers and parents. We cannot overcome the problems of teen pregnancy and drug use until we understand where the people are coming from. Leon Dash goes straight to the source to find answers.

Summary: Very insightful, well written book
Comment: Dash outdid himself again I read Rosa Lee: A mother and her familiy in Urban America, and enjoyed it so greatly that I couldn't wait to get my hands on another of his books he is a great writer and his books are worthy to be read. Dash goes to the heart of the problems facing teens in poor urban communities, he looks at the future, the present and past of these children's lives in order to offer real views of their existence. The fact that he goes into and moves into the community in which these young people live, gives him great credibility because he is not writing from a far off perspective, he is right there in the eye of the volcanoe. This book was very good and deserves to be read over and over. I hope Mr. Dash continues to write about the plights of the urban poor because their's is a story that must be told and must not be forgotten.
