Marta Marciniak

Transnational Punk Communities in Poland

From Nihilism to Nothing Outside Punk

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A transnational historical and ethnographic work that makes an interesting intervention into the field of subculture studies by emphasizing the seriousness, outreach, and attraction of these unique, yet similar Polish and Silesian punk communities since the late 1970s. Combines the methods of oral history and ethnography to create compact sections assignable as reading to graduate students enrolled in courses in cultural studies, Polish studies, social history of central Europe, anthropology, political studies, and others.
