20060001772OAKLAND CALIFORNIA CA 'OAK TOWN'. Very Good. 2006. On offer is an absolutely fascinating pair 2 of startlingly candid and intimate contemporary manuscript diaries handwritten by a 'Chola' girl providing an unparalleled look into the life of a Latina woman living and loving within a gang. Dated November 12th 2006 through January 10th 2010 one reads of sex drugs court dates made and missed children multiple sexual partners and the internal politics of gang life. Due to the fact the books are contemporary we decline to name the woman fully in the description but she is identified in the diaries. Interestingly she always signs her entries 'Baby Girl'. From the mundane of buying her man boxers socks and wife beaters buying drugs taking drugs hanging curtains to servicing him sexually except after he comes directly from another woman and still smells of her dealing with her children and his infidelity the reader comes to understand that she is not happy. She admits that things have gone downhill since another lover went to jail. At one point we read of a potential altercation brewing as another woman accuses her of being a prostitute and ones expects to read that some violence between them will occur but it seems to fade away. Researchers and historians of the time and place will relish the intimacies she writes as they all point to a life that 99% of the world can only guess at or assume from the few movies about gang life. This is really one of the most extraordinary diaries we have read. While we did not find a specific reference to Oakland California she mentions 'Oak Town' and refers to a number of locations that clinch the fact she is in Oakland. The first book is almost entirely full and the second a bit spottier but a gripping narrative throughout.
