"Skinheads: A Guide to An American Subculture" is an insider's look at the history of skinheads in the United States, from their emergence from the U.S. hardcore underground in the 1980s in New York City, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles to the current scene thriving in many major metropolitan areas today.

What makes this revelatory book so compelling is its one-of-a-kind view of skinhead culture from the inside out. Coauthor Perry Hardy is a skinhead, bass player for the band, The Templars, and veteran member of the American skinhead scene since the onset of the movement. Based on his experiences, plus interviews with dozens of skinheads of all kinds, Skinheads shows us a world that sometimes is the stuff of ordinary peoples' nightmares, but more often is simply another haven for those disaffected from society.

"Despite the book's slim size, it offers a well-rounded overview of the topic. This volume is ideal for undergraduates and high school students. Summing Up: Recommended." -
