— American Journal of Sociology
This rich ethnographic account of Philadelphia’s anarcho-punk scene shows that even forty years on, punk can be more than music, style, and attitude. In the words of The Exploited, 'Punks not dead!' Beyond punk, the book shows how those who wish to do good, to be good, reconcile their ethics with actions that seemingly contradict their deeply held values—and how we might do better.
— Ross Haenfler, Grinnell College
