Paperback. Condición: Good. Imagine being a middle-class, university-educated young Pakeha woman from Wellington's leafy suburbs and turning your back on all that to live in a house with Black Power gang connections in the rundown inner-city. Imagine organising the young women who come to live in that house, most of whom are from a background of dysfunction, alienation, abuse and poverty, and trying to weld them into an effective workforce. Imagine being trapped in your bedroom while a would-be rapist is trying to break down the door. Imagine fronting up to the national president of Black Power demanding that the gang rape of women - or blocking - comes to an end? Imagine fleeing the house in panic one day, knowing that a group of Nomads gang members is on its way to rip it to pieces? Pip Desmond can not only imagine it, she also did all this. Trust is a remarkable memoir, the story of the years she spent with the Aroha Trust in the late 1970s, the back stories of the women she came to stand alongside and count as friends, and the stories of the lives of a key group of those women up to the present day. Back in the late 1970s their futures looked at the very least uncertain, at the very worst bleak. Thirty years on, the path for some has been redemptive and they have moved on to better things. Others have been trapped by their pasts. Told with passion, anger, tenderness, humour and force, this remarkable book reflects on a period of social experimentation and lifts the lid on the lives of women who love gang members, and the price they pay. 319 pages.…

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. Trust A True Story of Women and Gangs By Pip Desmond. Publisher: Random House New Zealand, Auckland , 2009. Very good softback, no inscriptions, some shelf-wear, small black mark inside front cover. Extraordinary insight into New Zealand women's lives with gangs. In 1977 an idealistic young doctor's daughter, fresh out of university, knocked on the door of a run-down old house in inner-city Wellington. She was greeted by a woman in a Black Power T-shirt with metal in her nose and a spidery tattoo on her left cheek. 'Whaddya want?' the woman growled. So began Pip Desmond's extraordinary time as a member of Aroha Trust, a work cooperative set up in the heady years of feminism, community activism and the first stirrings of the Maori renaissance. For three years this unique, unruly group of girls did physical 'men's work', lived together, and stood side by side against a backdrop of gang violence, police harassment and a society that didn't want to know. When the government changed the rules for relief work, Aroha Trust folded, but the friendships endured. Trust tells the women's stories - much of it in their own words - with the respect and compassion that comes from a shared bond over 30 years. By turns angry, funny, hair-raising, tender, frightening and heartbreaking, the New Zealand Post Book Awards-winning Trust above all celebrates the women's struggles to overcome their pasts and build a future for their children. As a unique insight into New Zealand's social history and a way to understand women and gangs, it is without peer. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.
