Yan Morvan est un reporter de guerre qui a couvert de nombreux conflits. Depuis près de 30 ans, lors de ses périodes en France, il documente les bandes, les gangs, les groupuscules français de tous bords et de toutes régions.
Gangs Story est donc une plongée dans le monde de ces jeunesses endoctrinées, de ces personnages souvent engagés aux extrêmes politiques, qui professent des positions souvent indéfendables, ou existent parfois simplement en réaction à d'autres groupes.
Un document très intéressant sur le fonctionnement et les réalités d'une certaine frange de la société française dont on connaît l'existence sans jamais (ou rarement) l'avoir cotoyée ou même vue; mais Yan Morvan a su se plonger au coeur de ces groupes !
Un livre imposant et important, dont on a beaucoup parlé autour au printemps et à l'été 2013 à cause du procès intenté (et gagné) par une des personnes photographiées. Suite à ce procès et à l'arrêté rendu, un sticker a été apposé sur le visage de cette personne.
Le livre est divisé en 4 chapitres accompagnés d'un texte d'introduction, et chaque image est décrite et commenté en fin d'ouvrage.
Le récit qui accompagne les images est de Kizo, ancien membre de la "Mafia Z" de La Grande Borne à Grigny ayant participé pendant de nombreuses années aux conflits avec d'autres quartiers voisins, mais qui est depuis engagé dans la prévention de la violence.
WARNING - Condition of the copies offered:
They are new but not in "Mint" condition.
As you may know, the book has been removed from all stores in Spring 2013 following a court order, and shipped back to the publisher, who had to add a sticker on the plaintiff's image (to cover his face), before eventually sending the books back to the bookstores. This implied a lot of handling, shipping, page-flipping, etc, and the books all have little marks now (almost exclusively to the cover), whether it is small creases, rubbing, etc.
In addition, our two remaining copies have - for one - a small tear at the top of the back cover, and - for the other - several large creases clearly visible on the cover, and also at the back of the binding (showing the book has been open wide).
