Sweet Lies & Sugar Chains($14.99Value)

Description

Sweet Lies & Sugar Chains is a groundbreaking hybrid of poetry and memoir that transforms street life into historical record. Set in Washington Heights during the 1980s and 1990s, this book is not fiction—it is survival literature. Vernon Snell documents the invisible wars waged against Black and Indigenous communities through sugar, chemicals, food deserts, policing, media propaganda, and systemic injustice. Through rhythmic truth-telling, he connects dopamine addiction to colonization, fatherlessness to societal sabotage, and trauma to transformation. This is not entertainment—this is documentation, resistance, and recovery. A vital contribution to urban history, sociology, and cultural studies.
