The \u003cem\u003equinqui\u003c\/em\u003e films, produced and released on a shoestring budget, were nonetheless immensely popular, although never fully considered as part of the national film production in academic circles due to their “B” nature and low quality. These films encapsulate many of the concerns that Spaniards were facing (unemployment, class conflict and disparity, wild economic growth, increasing violence and crime activity, illegal drugs ravaging the youth, etc.) and consequently they had an impact on social, cultural, and emotional levels in the reborn country. In addition to recent interest in these films as cultural products, this book presents a thorough and multi-perspective analysis of the implications for film and society that these films reveal, clarifying both: the Spanish filmic panorama as well as the canon, and the socio-political situation in a country that was going through one of the most controversial and tumultuous times of its contemporary history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“‘Quinqui’ Film in Spain examines the film production of the Spanish transition to democracy that focussed on the marginalized subjects referred to as “Quinquis” (delinquents, drug-addicts, young criminals). The book does an outstanding job of editing and selecting very interesting original works related to different aspects of this low-budget genre. […] Together with its predecessor, Fuera de la ley: Asedios al fenómeno quinqui en la transición Española (2015), this work makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the emergence of democracy in the latter half of twentieth-century Spain.”\u003cbr\u003e —Cristina Moreiras-Menor, Professor of Spanish \u0026amp;Women’s Studies, University of Michigan, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The book provides an extensive contextualization of the quinqui cultural phenomena, together with a comprehensive explanation of its formal and thematic features, as well as an in-depth analysis of its subversive potential and its long-lasting impact in society. It is an outstanding source of information for film lovers, students, and scholars from many different disciplines who are willing to delve into the history and culture of the Spanish Transición. — Ortiz-València, Sandra.
