New breed black gangster literature is a subgenre of African American literature that emerged in the 1990s and 2000s. It is characterized by its portrayal of inner city African American life, particularly the world of gangs, drugs, and violence. This literature often portrays the harsh realities of life in impoverished inner city neighborhoods and the struggles of young black men and women to survive and thrive in these environments.
One of the key themes in new breed black gangster literature is the impact of systemic racism and poverty on the lives of African Americans. Many of the characters in these novels are trapped in a cycle of poverty and violence that is difficult to escape. They may turn to crime or gangs as a means of survival, or they may struggle to find legitimate ways to make a living and provide for their families.
Another common theme in new breed black gangster literature is the importance of family and community. Many of the characters in these novels are fiercely loyal to their families and communities, and they are often willing to go to great lengths to protect them. This sense of loyalty and community can provide a sense of hope and purpose in the midst of difficult circumstances.
One of the most notable authors in the new breed black gangster literature genre is Donald Goines. Goines was a former drug addict and criminal who turned to writing as a means of telling the stories of his own life and the lives of others like him. His novels, which include "Dopefiend," "Never Die Alone," and "Black Gangster," are raw and unflinching in their portrayal of inner city life.
Other notable authors in this genre include Sister Souljah, whose novel "The Coldest Winter Ever" tells the story of a young woman coming of age in the inner city, and K'wan, whose "Gangsta" series follows the rise and fall of a young man in the world of gangs and drug trafficking.
