Covering everything from foodways to fashion, the collection situates the hipster’s unique place in American subculture, while simultaneously placing the hipster in larger global contexts. Of note is the collection’s intersectional approach to the topic, exploring the hipster from a number of gendered, sexual, and religious perspectives, expanding the uses of this collection to broader studies of identity, consumption, and consumerism. * Jenn Brandt, author of An Introduction to Popular Culture in the US (co-authored with Callie Clare, 2018) *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a worthwhile study that fills a gap in the existing literature on hipsters by looking at the subject from various perspectives. By drawing attention to hipster involvement in identity politics, fashion, food, literature and visual culture, the book covers some new ground while adding to existing studies, and viewing the hipster beyond the lens of western culture is a particular strength. Very interesting and timely -  a valuable resource for anyone teaching cultural studies, sociology, fashion history and theory, media studies and more. * Georgina Gregory, Senior Lecturer in Media and Film, University of Central Lancashire, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003ci\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/i\u003e   1.
