Riassunto

Based on more than two decades of first-hand research, an energetic foray into the political and cultural struggles over city space delves into the realms of street musicians, homeless punks, militant bicycle activists, high-risk "BASE jump" parachutists, skateboarders, outlaw radio operators, and hip-hop graffiti artists to document the daily battle over public life and space and to provide a compelling analysis of new urban politics.
