Outsiders

Banksy's manager, Steve Lazarides is known for his eye for subversive, intelligent, attention grabbing artists. He has now gathered together the best of them to create a collection of Outsider art. From Tank Girl and Gorrilaz creator, Jamie Hewlett to international artist collective Faile and Conor Harrington, the new generation of boundary-pushing artists will feature.

One of the most groundbreaking sociology texts of the 20th century, Howard S. Becker’s Outsiders revolutionized the study of social deviance. Howard S. Becker’s Outsiders broke new ground in the early 1960s—and the ideas it proposed and problems it raised are still argued about and inspiring research internationally. In this new edition, Becker includes two lengthy essays, unpublished until now, that add fresh material for thought and discussion. “Why Was Outsiders a Hit? Why Is It Still a Hit?” explains the historical background that made the book interesting to a new generation coming of age in the 60s and makes it of continuing interest today. “Why I Should Get No Credit For Legalizing Marijuana” examines the road to decriminalization and presents new ideas for the sociological study of public opinion.
