In
The Politics of Punk: Protests and Revolts From the Streets (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers),
Houston Press
writer David Ensminger probes the conscience of punk by documenting its
ongoing activism and outreach. Creating a people’s history of the
movement's social, cultural, aesthetic and political life, the book
features interviews with members of Dead Kennedys, Dead Boys, MDC,
Really Red, Scream, Minutemen, TSOL, the Avengers and many more. In
doing so, Ensminger highlights punk's community involvement and its
broad, long support for political action groups, gays and lesbians, the
homeless, the disabled, environmental issues, health research and other
causes. Reprinted with permission of the publisher, the following
excerpt is from the chapter "Undead Legacies."
