Description
Join photographer and skater Andréanna Seymore on her fearless journey
through the world of roller derby, beginning with her serendipitous
introduction to the sport in 2008. Modern roller derby is a vibrant,
empowering, and revolutionary movement transitioning from obscure
subculture to mainstream pastime on both a national, as well as global,
stage. Action-packed and emotionally provocative photographs taken over a
five-year period reveal the joy, pain, and dedication of these athletes
on and off the track. Enriched by riveting and often touching
commentary from nearly one hundred skaters, coaches, fans, and referees,
this book captures the daring, entrepreneurial spirit of the
participants, the extraordinary bonds that form, and the invigorating
and infectious fanaticism that characterizes every bout. An increasing
number of male, co-ed, and junior leagues all share a strong,
do-it-yourself ethic that combines fierce athleticism with elements from
punk, camp, and third-wave feminist aesthetics. In part because of this
non-discriminatory nature, roller derby is currently the fastest
growing sport in America.
