About this book
This book compiles exclusive accounts across multiple eras from a long list of iconic punk musicians, promoters, writers, and fans on both sides of the Atlantic. Through understanding how and why punk culture circulated, it tells a greater story of (sub)urban blight, the nature of counterculture, and the street-level dynamics of that centuries-old relationship between France and the United States.
Reviews
“Capitals of Punk is a highly original, insightful and engaging book. Tyler Sonnichsen's social geography approach for understanding the development of two distinct scenes and the global conduits of exchange that connect them is one of the freshest and most unique contributions I have read in some time.” (Kevin Dunn, co-director of Africana Studies Program at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, USA)
