"Shane Greene’s Punk and Revolution is an impressive and important book. It has interesting things to say about punk as a musical style and subculture, and perhaps more importantly as a disposition, an aesthetic, and a political project."

"Is this work a serious academic query into the impact of punk as a political ... Read morestatement or a ludic, subversive challenge to the reader to question authority on all levels without adhering to any dogma? Most likely, it is both."
Ana Torres
Journal of Global South Studies
"Punk and Revolution provides a welcome salvo in the struggle to prise analyses of punk away from their Anglo-American moorings, and Greene’s approach in doing so provides an exemplar for all the punkademics out there who see the need to jettison academia’s arcane and conservative traditions, while retaining the essence of ethnographic rigour and critical analysis."

"Punk and Revolution shines as an archival project. . . . [Greene's] commitment to telling the story of punk through alternative styles, aesthetics, and forms will make his book appeal not only to media scholars and Latin Americanists but also to anyone interested in exploring the possibilities for anthropology through image, voice, and sound."
