A good book on a cool topic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
While I really like this book enough to give it five stars, I don't think everyone would like it so much, so I gave it four. (Faulty logic? Maybe.) Stephen Duncombe has put together an astounding cross-section of thinkers in this anthology/collection, but it ain't beach reading. Duncombe takes the approach, as he explains in his introduction, that "cultural resistance" is different from political resistance -- that all defiance doesn't have to direct itself at the political realm, even though political dissidence is an element to it, but some takes on a social or cultural aim instead. There's so much in the book that attempting to summarize it would be kind of pointless, and too long-winded. I'll end by saying: if you like writers like Camille Paglia or Noam Chomsky . . . or music like punk, you will like this book. If you don't, you probably won't.
Good going!

This product was delivered on time and was of great (same as described) quality (if not better). Great Job! I was very pleased!
