Produktbeschreibung
The Lowrider Studies Reader: Culture, Resistance, Liberation, and Familia is the first book dedicated to lowrider studies in the world. This inaugural volume is a powerful groundbreaking book that is a collection of writings from brilliant scholar/practitioners speaking on lowrider history, pedagogy, culture, politics, society, justice, art, language, education, and their significance within the societal schema. Lowrider studies, influenced by beautifully painted hydraulic cars, bicycles with chrome, gold, murals and strolling slow and low, is a growing global field. This book is a must for all Latina/o/x/e studies, Chicana/o/x studies, ethnic studies, sociology, and cultural studies programs. This interdisciplinary and intersectional work emerged from of the 1st Annual International Lowrider Studies Conference, a public and no-cost grassroots effort organized by Save the Kids. Like Hip Hop, lowrider culture is a space and place to divert violence, promote peace, and build familia. Read this book slow and low.

Rezensionen
"This groundbreaking book presents a wide overview of lowrider (counter) culture which combines identity politics with systemic activism. Particularly, contributors articulate and illustrate how lowriding is more than a hobby-more than just cars and even bikes-but a cultural expression and mode of healing that is multidimensional and multinational." -Nathan Poirier, Assistant Editor of Journal for Critical Animal Studies
