About this book:
The Routledge Handbook of Graffiti and Street Art, edited by Jeffrey Ian Ross, is an authoritative academic reference that explores the global history, theory, and practice of graffiti and street art. First published in 2016 by Routledge, the handbook brings together contributions from over 50 international scholars, artists, and practitioners to provide an interdisciplinary examination of the subject.
The book is organized into thematic sections covering the history and evolution of graffiti and street art, regional and cultural variations, key theoretical and methodological approaches, legal and political dimensions, and the relationship between graffiti, street art, and the art world. It addresses both traditional forms—like tagging and mural painting—and contemporary developments, including stencil art, wheat-pasting, and large-scale commissioned works.
With over 500 pages, this handbook is designed for academics, researchers, students, and cultural policymakers, offering a comprehensive resource that blends sociological, criminological, urban studies, and art historical perspectives. It does not merely treat graffiti as vandalism but also recognizes it as a complex cultural and artistic phenomenon embedded in urban life.
