Surfer Girls in the New World Order

Krista Comer

4.9/5 (33234 ratings)

Description:In Surfer Girls in the New World Order, Krista Comer explores surfing as a local and global subculture, looking at how surfing has affected girls and how the culture of surfing has been affected by girls, from baby boomers to members of Generation Y. Her analysis encompasses the mostly American middle-class women who come to Las Olas, a surf camp in Sayulita, Mexico, the women of Sayulita who work in the service industries supporting tourism, and the Mexican women and girl surfistas. It includes a write-in candidate for mayor of San Diego, whose political activism grew out of surfing and a desire to protect threatened ecosystems of surf spots; the owners of the girl-focused Paradise Surf Shop in Santa Cruz and Surf Diva in San Diego; and the observant Muslim woman who started a business from her Huntington Beach home, selling swimsuits that fully cover the body and head. Comer examines texts such as the Roxy Girl series of novels sponsored by the surf wear company Quiksilver, the biography of the champion surfer Lisa Anderson, the Gidget novels and films, the movie Blue Crush, and Surf Diva: A Girl’s Guide to Getting Good Waves. She develops the concept of “girl localism” to argue that the experience of fighting for waves and respect in male-majority surf breaks, along with advocating for the health and sustainable development of coastal towns and waterways, has empowered surfer girls around the world.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
