Aesthetics and Politics of Mexican American Custom Cars

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Aren't lowriders always gangbangers? And, don't they always hold high status in their neighborhoods? Contrary to both stereotypes, this book brings a realistic tour of the "ordinary" lowriders who turn streetscapes into stages on which dynamic identities can be performed.
