{"product_id":"books-the-dirty-south-by-alex-wheatle","title":"The Dirty South","description":"Brixton, twenty years after the race riots. Teenager Dennis Huggins drifts into the easy, dangerous life of the shotta - or drug dealer - and discovers that, hard as the struggle for respect on the streets is, the struggle for love is harder still.   At least Dennis has involved parents looking out for him; too many of his friends drift through life with no positive influences or moral code; their only 'family' their fellow dealers. Wheatle brilliantly evokes the temptations of the thug life for young black men growing up in London's 'Dirty South' - this is a fast, compelling novel that offers no easy answers, but refuses to shy away from asking the difficult questions.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672985198865,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781846686573.jpg?v=1781522447","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/products\/books-the-dirty-south-by-alex-wheatle","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
