{"product_id":"book-ilv6","title":"Rising from the Ashes","description":"Paula Yoo’s latest is a compelling, nuanced account of Los Angeles’s 1992 uprising and its impact on its Korean\u003cbr\u003eand Black American communities.\u003cbr\u003eOn April 29, 1992, following the acquittal of four police officers charged with the beating and arrest of Rodney\u003cbr\u003eKing and the earlier killing of teenager Latasha Harlins, the city of Los Angeles erupted in violence. Many\u003cbr\u003eof these events were centered on the city’s Koreatown, where tensions between the Black and Korean\u003cbr\u003eAmerican communities had simmered for years, fueled by economic challenges and redlining and enflamed\u003cbr\u003eby sensationalized and racist media. Based on more than 100 personal interviews, Rising from the Ashes\u003cbr\u003efollows these events through the eyes and experiences of the families of King, Harlins, shooting victim Edward\u003cbr\u003eJae Song Lee, and dozens of business owners, journalists, police officers, firefighters, activists, and other\u003cbr\u003ecommunity members. Deeply researched and compulsively readable, this is a vivid, propulsive, and moving\u003cbr\u003estory of a pivotal moment in recent American history that continues to resonate today.","brand":"Recorded Books, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49350217105712,"sku":"BDilv6","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/569604-ilv6-Square.jpg?v=1734280328","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-ilv6","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
