Recenzje

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
