Summary:

“Roll and Flow takes the widespread participation of skateboards and surfers in the Black Lives Matter movement as a catalyst to reconsider the significance of the cultural politics of surfing and skateboarding. It is the first academic volume to bring together leading scholars in the area both of surfing and skateboarding studies. Edited by Michael Roberts, Kristin Lawler, and David P. Cline, this new critical anthology from SDSU Press uncovers how skateboarding and surfing cultures have a progressive political dimension, a phenomenon that both surprised the journalists who covered the skateboarders and surfers who participated in the BLM movement and remains relatively neglected by academics in our field. Featured authors include Iain Borden, Becky Beal, Aaron James, and Cori Schumacher.” (from the back cover)
