“The Lowrider Studies Reader is a great introduction to the global, cultural, and political impact of lowriders. This inaugural book of the field shows how lowrider culture has both a liberatory effect for cholx, latinx, and chicanx communities while simultaneously being co-opted by oppressive cultures. This is a must read for anyone interested in the socio-political dynamics of lowrider culture.”—Dr. Lauralea Banks Edwards, Assistant Vice President for Institutional Effectiveness, SUNY Delhi
