摘要：This book has been painstakingly researched by a scholar whose intellectual competencies span several disciplines: history, sociology, criminology, culture, drama and film studies. It is theoretically sophisticated and yet not dense as it reads like a novel with an abundance of interesting complex characters. The central character is the larrikin but not the one Bellanta describes as 'the true blue Aussie larrikin', the beer swelling, mischief making, fun-loving, antiauthoritarian, raunchy hyper-masculine male who calls a penis 'a donger1; an erection, bracking the fat"; sex, 'sinking the sausage'; and vomit, *a technicolour yawn' (Bellanta 2012:185). Nor is the central larrikin character for this book the iconic - the free love, dope smoking, rock rolling, counterculture hippy-type bourgeois revolutionaries of the 1950s and 1960s who were especially linked with the Sydney Push or the Melbourne Drift (p.184).
