How do poverty, youth and crime relate to the concept of being
'cool'? Jonathan Ilan presents a unique, theoretically informed
overview of street culture in various parts of the world - its
origins, functions, manifestations and appeal - examining both its
bearing on criminal lifestyles and on the cultivation of 'cool.'
Drawing on contemporary research and original examples to evidence
new ways of thinking about street culture - from the favelas of
Brazil to housing projects in the USA - the text locates street
culture within its particular social, cultural and economic
contexts. Covering diverse subjects from brutal violence to
contemporary fashion it explores the ways in which street culture
is intertwined with processes of social exclusion and inclusion. An
in-depth and even-handed guide to understanding the practices,
styles and struggles associated with a particular section of the
socio-economically disadvantaged, this text stands as an invaluable
resource for students and academics across a range of disciplines,
including youth studies, urban studies, criminology, sociology,
cultural studies and geography.
