This history of the punk movement in the United States shows how punk music, fashion, art, and attitude clashed with and ultimately influenced mainstream culture.
Sharon M. Hannon is a freelance writer, editor, and researcher who has written books, websites, and articles for the Library of Congress and PBS on such topics as women explorers, World War II, spies and secret agents, and American history.
In Punks: A Guide to an American Subculture, local author Sharon M.
Hannon provides as thorough and insightful a guide to this cultural
phenomenon as you're likely to find. Part of a Greenwood Press
series that also covered beatniks, hippies and skinheads, Punks
serves as a primer to an influential but often misunderstood
movement. For the uninitiated and adherents alike, this A to Z is a
fascinating look at an American subculture.
