Tom Whittaker is a Reader in Film and Spanish Cultural Studies at the University of Warwick
This is first English-language study of cine quinqui, a cycle of Spanish delinquent-themed films made in the 1970s and 1980s. Exploring how the films reflected the auditory experience of marginal youth cultures during this period, the book casts new light on the criminological, economic and political fault lines of Spain's transition to democracy.
