Before the Fires provides an oral history of African Americans in the South Bronx who grew up in a cohesive, nurturing community-not the familiar narrative of gangs, drugs, violence, and family decay. The interviewees have been trying to tell their story for 30 years, but no one would listen until Mark Naison's oral history project began welcoming their voices.
