Remarkable book by Swedish photographer Esaias Baitel on the young marginalized  of Paris and its suburbs, the last years of a generation of thugs that the French called the “Loubards”. In the streets, cafes, and in their privacy, Baitel photographed the hard bangs, a whole gallery of portraits dressed in jeans, leather, tattoos, sympathizers of Nazism, lost, influenced by the culture of American white supremacists. A book that has become a great classic and difficult to find.
