Beschreibung:
This book is an investigation of punk subculture. However, unlike previous books that have attempted to do so through the sounds or styles of punk, this book examines the subculture from a spatial perspective, exploring the built environment of punk and the cultural practices associated with that environment and - in the process - shedding light on the greater issue of the relationship between space and society.
