To survive, many young residents joined gangs. The largest gang, with nearly 2000 members, was the Ghetto Brothers, led by Benjamin Melendez, the son of Jewish immigrants from Puerto Rico. Melendez came into the public eye in 1971 when he initiated a highly publicized peace agreement between New York's youth gangs. Instead of gang wars, the Bronx now made headlines with hip-hop, DJs, and the graffiti scene. In this atmosphere of awakening, Benjamin Melendez embarked on a different journey: the search for his Jewish roots. Ghetto Brother tells the true story of Benjamin Melendez, a forgotten figure in New York's pop culture. Author and photographer Julian Voloj and illustrator Claudia Ahlering have created a graphic novel that brings hip-hop culture to life and immerses the reader in Jewish life worlds in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783945034194\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 41984314\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e German\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Collectible - like new\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Comic-Helden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48156547055953,"sku":"G6-GTY7-WVQQ","price":13.46,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/3791\/3681\/products\/51OHg6SejhL.jpg?v=1709610101","url":"https:\/\/comic-helden.shop\/en-de\/products\/ghetto-brother-bronx-ny","provider":"Comic-Helden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
