Im sure you've heard of MONSTER but if not its a good book about Crips and Bloods in LA.

WALLBANGIN is also pretty good. It looks like its just about gang graphitti but talks about the North/South division and the author talks with various gang members of their lives.

Wallbangin yeah thats a pretty good look at the Graffiti aspect. The north/south thing is honestly only about 3 pages of the whole thing tho, the rest focuses on SOTEL and SM17th STREET and CLANTON and DENVER LANES and SWANS and various other LA gangs
