 Roger Gastman Street World: Urban Culture from Five Continents book

Yet another big, thick and heavy book on 'Urban Culture' to laden your Shoreditch coffee table with from the publishers of Subway Art.

With the usual suspects such as Banksy featured, the subtext of this book would seem to be a guide for novice 'coolhunters' (those who monitor trends for corporations). A sad look at the globalisation of Western youth culture? An interesting read / 'look' which may have been enhanced by more commentary / analysis.


6/10
