This title in other editionsThe Graffiti Subculture: Youth, Masculinity and Identity in London and New Yorkby Nancy Macdonald
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This book is the most extensive contribution to our understanding of the graffiti subculture to date. Using insights from ethnographic research conducted in London and New York, this book explores the varying ways young men use graffiti to construct masculinity, claim power, and establish independence from the institutions which define, and often limit, them as young people. Forging a link between subcultural practice and identity construction, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in new understandings of youth and their subcultures. Description:Includes bibliographical references (p. 241-250) and indexes. About the AuthorNancy Macdonald has lived and worked in London and New York. She currently resides in London where she works as a youth consultant in a brand development company. This book is based on her PhD thesis, which she completed at Brunel University.
