Skinheads go beyond the societal stereotype of hate mongers,
bigots, and Neo-Nazis. The community of skins also includes
traditional skins (those that adhere to the original philosophy of
the British movement in 1969), Skinheads Against Racial prejudice
(SHARPS), and gay skins, female skins and Neo-Nazi or
Racist/Nationalist skins. Skinhead History, Identity, and Culture
covers the history, identity, and culture of the skinhead movement
in Europe and America, looking at the total culture of the skins
through a cross-sectional analysis of skinheads in various
countries. Authors Borgeson and Valeri provide original research
data to cast new light into the skinhead community. Some of the
data is ethnographic, drawing on face-to-face interviews with skins
of all kinds, while other data is compiled from the Internet and
social media about various skinhead groups within the United
States, Europe, and Australia. The book covers the history of the
subculture; explores the unique cultures of female, gay, and
Neo-Nazi skins; and explores manifestations of the culture as
represented on the Internet and in music. The work discusses how
skinheads derive their values and morals and how they fit into the
larger social structure.
