Description
Macarras interseculares una historia de Madrid a través de sus mitos callejeros by Iñaki Domínguez is a collection of stories that explores the history of Madrid through its street myths. Spanning from 1965 to 2020, this book delves into the lives of those who lived on the margins of society, including macarras, mods and rockers, and others. Through interviews with charismatic figures from that era, the author sheds light on the city's lesser-known corners, such as the American bars in the Costa Fleming area, the kif trade in Lavapiés, and the botellones in Malasaña. The book also touches on the gentrification of these areas, the rise of graffiti and hip-hop culture, and other pivotal moments in Madrid's history. This collection offers a unique perspective on the city's evolution over five decades, revealing the complexities and nuances of its street culture.
