Bringing together scholars from a range of academic disciplines (history, sociology, cultural studies, politics, English, music), it showcases innovative research into the diverse ways in which punk may be used and interpreted.<\/p>\n<p>The essays are concerned with three main themes: identity, locality and communication. These, in turn, cover subjects relating to questions of class, age and gender; the relationship between punk, locality and socio-political context; and the ways in which punk&#8217;s meaning has been expressed from within the subculture and reflected by the media. Jon Savage, the foremost commentator and curator of punk&#8217;s cultural legacy, provides an afterword on punk&#8217;s impact and dissemination from the 1970s to the present day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manchester University Press, 2017.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchase this book <a href=\"https:\/\/manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk\/9781526118790\/fight-back\/\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fight back examines the different ways punk &#8211; as a youth\/subculture &#8211; may provide space for political expression and action.
