{"product_id":"the-dirty-south","title":"The Dirty South | Alex Wheatle","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":"Bust-Down Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50706550948155,"sku":"1846686571","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/2077\/7531\/files\/13593183482845.jpg?v=1762445242","url":"https:\/\/bustdownbooks.com\/products\/the-dirty-south","provider":"Bust-Down Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
