Description from the seller
Rare and sought-after first edition (first printing) of this reference work by photographer Yan Morvan (1954-2024) on the gangs of Paris that he was able to infiltrate closely. Paperback, black and white and color photographs. Stories and texts by Kizo.
Through the exceptional work of Yan Morvan, photojournalist, and Kizo, originally from Grigny, Gangs Story offers us a chance to discover an little-known history. The history of gangs is deeply linked to those of immigration, urban planning, and, of course, the development of cultural phenomena such as rock, punk, and later hip-hop and rap. Following the American model, gangs develop a true culture: logos, rallying signs, fashion, and music.
But what are the reasons that drive a young person to join a gang? Trend phenomenon? Group phenomenon that gives a sense of power? Attraction to violence? Identity quest? Through 220 photos, this book allows you to discover gangs: Hells Angels, Rebels, Skinheads, Antifas, Black Panthers, Ducky Boys, Vicious Sharks…
Forbidden upon its first publication, this book offers exceptional photos taken in immersion by a renowned photojournalist.
