Brooklyn Gang. Coney Island, New York, USA, 1959

They were young, poor and reckless but the very embodiment of 1950s cool. Taken in the hot New York summer of 1959, Bruce Davidson’s classic essay Brooklyn Gang, New York, infiltrates a close-knit group of teenagers as they sunbathed, smoked and bloodied each other up. Connecting with a social worker to make initial contact with the gang who called themselves The Jokers, Davidson became a daily observer and photographer of this alienated youth culture.
