Seventh and Central: Lowriders

Primarily shot in Albuquerque and northern New Mexico's Española, though this will be of interest wherever there is a low-rider culture. Aside from the custom car culture interest, this is also a great examination of Chicano/a style and tattoos. It is also a celebration of Chicano pride, with two poems by Manuel Gonzalez and Jessica Helen Lopez.130 photographs in both full color and black and white, this collection documents an important expression of identity, creativity, and belonging. The title references Albuquerque's iconic stretch of Route 66 known as Central Avenue. The actual cover has the image above overprinted with the title in Spanish Gothic lettering around a Zia cross in silver-green metallic ink. Paperback, 172 pages.
