Book Reviews of Cultural Resistance Reader
Book Review: A good book on a cool topic
Summary: 4 Stars
While I really like this book enough to give it five stars, I don't think everyone would like it so much, so I gave it four. (Faulty logic? Maybe.) Stephen Duncombe has put together an astounding cross-section of thinkers in this anthology/collection, but it ain't beach reading. Duncombe takes the approach, as he explains in his introduction, that "cultural resistance" is different from political resistance -- that all defiance doesn't have to direct itself at the political realm, even though political dissidence is an element to it, but some takes on a social or cultural aim instead. There's so much in the book that attempting to summarize it would be kind of pointless, and too long-winded. I'll end by saying: if you like writers like Camille Paglia or Noam Chomsky . . . or music like punk, you will like this book. If you don't, you probably won't.
