Description

A new global street culture has emerged, uniting the world's diverse subcultures. Graffiti and skateboarding, DJ-ing, fashion and printmaking - this packed book celebrates the street as a stage for the creativity of a generation. From New York and Los Angeles, to the Brazilian mega-cities, South African townships, and Mumbai, the authors highlight cultural hotspots around the world - in more than 100 topics and more than 1,000 colour photographs
