Publisher's Synopsis
This is the first book of its kind to present a complete overview of the 1980s subcultures of Washington, D.C. and is released in conjunction with an upcoming exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, curated by Roger Gastman. This volume is packed full of essays and interviews that bring you inside the real D.C. of the 1980s, including almost 1,000 photographs which expertly chronicles a shifting decade in which D.C. was largely ignored by its President, but embraced by its own citizens.
