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

The Lowrider Studies Reader perfectly captures, articulates and speaks-to the power and potential of Lowrider culture as a liberatory conception. In doing so the book makes an original and extremely timely contribution to the literature, and should be an "essential read" for many critical scholars and activist communities alike. -Dr. Richard J. White, Reader in Human Geography, Sheffield Hallam University, UK
