'Innovative and insightful, Ilan's Understanding Street Culture illuminates the life of the streets. A work of imaginative integration, it carries the reader from the smallest of street spaces to the largest of global issues.' - Jeff Ferrell, Visiting Professor of Criminology, University of Kent, UK 'This brilliant, comprehensive study embodies and finesses the contradictions that beset street culture. It locates the street's 'posture of defiance' in a global context and ultimately highlights the process whereby street expressivity becomes a 'commodifiable cool'.' - Gregory J. Snyder, author of Graffiti Lives: Beyond the Tag in New York's Urban Underground

'Understanding Street Culture' by Jonathan Ilan is a book about the manifestations of street culture; what it is, how it came to be, the implications of it on mainstream society, and the effects mainstream society has on it. ... the book is a useful source for others to develop research on this important topic. ... Learning from Ilan's book would offer a different way to consider how marginalization shapes adolescent development and outcomes. (Billie Endress, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, Vol. 45, 2016)
