Celeste Fremon, award-winning journalist specializing in gangs, criminal justice and education policy, reviewed Stan's book for the Los Angeles Times, and wrote, "There are already several South L.A. gangster memoirs on the shelves...but none provides the social/historical reach of Williams' Blue Rage, Black Redemption." |
