This is the parable of a young woman's evolution in the streets of Detroit. Mayhem Jefferson is the gangster who has to fight for street respect. Her journey is one of epic proportions for many urban fe-males. Blood, death, and treachery rule the day as Mayhem counters the distant image of the one-dimensional "good girl." Professor Xavier Long tracks the winding road of Mayhem, who becomes a young aspiring hit woman. She comes from a criminal family described by Professor Long. This tale also includes characters like Pedwell "Peddy" Jefferson, head of the criminal family that is a far cry from traditional. This narrative tells the world of what poverty can become if left unattended.An anomic tale of the normalization of ignorance and violence, this is what exists when all else has collapsed in urban America. An urban frontier reveals an array of mores, values and counter-culture that followed the destruction of once-proud, working-class communities. It is here that Mayhem Jefferson defines the Negro tradition that awaits answers not yet found. This is a story about the people rarely seen beyond the distorted images in the media. Mayhem Jefferson is the tale of a young woman's struggles to fight against everybody, including those that failed to understand the hell of her daily life. Gangster Manqué is an experience taken from reality that is as much non-fiction as it is fiction.
