Description
"In this chapter we argue that a global dissemination of skinhead style allowed local youth across the United States (and in various other countries) to adopt what was originally a British youth subculture... Although skinhead origins were uncoordinated reactions to globalizing trends, the subsequent growth of the skinhead movement was fostered by specific and conscious actions on the part of skinhead activists to global technologies in order to grow the movement."
