Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
In 1959 Davidson read about the teenage gangs of New York City. Connecting with a social worker to make initial contact with a gang called the Jokers, Davidson became a daily observerAand photographerAof this alienated youth culture. The Fifties are often considered passive and pale by our standards of urban reality, but Davidson's photographs prove otherwise. In a recent New York Times article discussing this work, Davidson admitted he feared the erratic and often violent rules and routines of the Jokers. It is tempting to consider what this book might have been like had more of the detail of Brooklyn's 1950s white gang culture, as revealed in that Times article, been used to reinforce this spare volume. But this book gets to the point quickly, on its own terms. Nearly 70 sheet-fed gravure platesAimages of tough people, tough lives, tough lovers, all trying to be coolAare followed by just two pages of recollections by the photographer and a lengthier interview with Benjie, a surviving gang member, now a drug counselor. Recommended.ADavid Bryant, New Canaan P.L., CT

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This new edition of Bruce Davidson's classic study of tough New York youths in the 50's, marks a most welcome and sure-to-be-collected photo book. The reproductions and layout are superb, rich and textured, and the accompanying text is illuminating. And this doesn't even begin to describe the superb images Davidson, one of the world's great "street photographers" captures here. In all, without much of Davidson's work in-print, aside from "Central Park," this is one that art photograpahy fans and those interested in New York's colorful past will surely want to own.

A raw Teenage classic
7. April 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Bruce Davidson's classic work captures the raw emotion of a group of Brooklyn teenagers in the long vanished Summer of 1959. The photographs are very natural and unstaged, and capture a powerful sense of adolescent desolation, even amidst a crowd of other teens. The kids hanging out on the street corner, at the candy store, or huddled under the boardwalk at Coney Island convey an intense, desperate sort of energy. These photographs are charged with the sensation of growing up and living in a world before everything became a media spectacle. Some of these kids may have copped a pose or two from James Dean, but the defining appeal of James Dean as an actor was that his emotion felt vividly real. One wonders how such an unmediated, honest, street level take would even be possible today. This book is a treasure of American urban social history and a tour de force of emotional power.
