520 Peace was a talented young African-American man who
escaped the slums of Newark for Yale University, only to
succumb to the dangers of the streets -- and of one's own
nature -- when he returned home. When Hobbs arrived at
Yale University, he became fast friends with Peace, his
college roommate for four years. Peace's life was rough
from the beginning in the crime-ridden streets of Newark
in the 1980s, and he carried with him the difficult dual
nature of his existence, "fronting" in Yale and at home.
Through an honest rendering of Peace's relationships,
Hobbs examines the collision of two fiercely insular
worlds.
