Summary:

"The Writing of Where examines how graffiti writers in Boston write and rewrite various spaces within and across the city. Drawing on a four-year study with graffiti writers, this book explores how writing communities-particularly those marginalized by local processes of neoliberal space-produce public texts that at once challenge existing discourses of place and produce new, emergent writing spaces organized around alternative social principles"-- Provided by publisher.
