Back in print in a beautiful hardcover edition, Cholo Writing documents the 20th century’s oldest form of graffiti—a distinct Mexican-American visual language that predates New York tags and heavily shaped West Coast lowrider, skate, surf, and hip-hop cultures.
This volume traces the aesthetic evolution of "placas"—territorial gang inscriptions defined by strict calligraphic codes and Old English lettering—through two distinct photographic collections.
