PUNK! Las Americas Edition

A collective challenge to the global hegemonic vision of punk.

This book interrogates the dominant vision of punk-particularly its white masculine protagonists and deep Anglocentrism-by analyzing punk as a critical lens into the disputed territories of America, a term that hides the heterogeneous struggles, global histories, hopes, and despairs of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century experience. Compiling academic essays and punk paraphernalia (including interviews, zines, poetry, and visual segments) into a single volume, the book explores punk life through its multiple registers: vivid musical dialogues, excessive visual displays, and underground literary expression.
