Moving beyond the common and well-worn analyses of London and New York City is always a welcome addition to punk histories and currents and allows us to better understand the many nuanced meanings of punk around the globe. It also allows for the voices of often missing peoples to be heard. The book also does a good job of taking nuanced approaches to the politics of punk. [...] The book is well done. Readers from multiple academic disciplines, as well as punks who just want a refreshing and intelligent approach to our culture, will find something to appreciate in it. I am left hoping that there will be more compilations of papers from Punk Scholars Network conferences and symposiums released in the coming years.
