Download or read book A Cultural Dictionary of Punk written by Nicholas Rombes and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2009-07-13 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither a dry-as-dust reference volume recycling the same dull facts nor a gushy, gossipy puff piece, A Cultural Dictionary of Punk: 1974-1982 is a bold book that examines punk as a movement that is best understood by placing it in its cultural field. It contains myriad critical-listening descriptions of the sounds of the time, but also places those sounds in the context of history. Drawing on hundreds of fanzines, magazines, and newspapers, the book is - in the spirit of punk - an obsessive, strident, and sometimes deeply personal portrait of the many ways in which punk was an artistic, cultural, and political expression of defiance. A Cultural Dictionary of Punk is organized around scores of distinct entries, on everything from Lester Bangs to The Slits, from Jimmy Carter to Minimalism, from 'Dot Dash' to Bad Brains. This book takes a fresh look at how the malaise of the 1970s offered fertile ground for punk - as well as the new wave, post-punk, and hardcore - to emerge as a rejection of the easy platitudes of the dying counter-culture. The organization is accessible and entertaining: short bursts of meaning, in tune with the beat of punk itself. Meant to be read straight through or opened up and experienced at random, A Cultural Dictionary of Punk covers not only many of the well-known, now-legendary punk bands, but the obscure, forgotten ones as well. Along the way, punk's secret codes are unraveled and a critical time in history is framed and exclaimed.

For Annalise, Younish Camp—the only home she’s ever known—has turned into a factioned nightmare. Her brother, Paul, had always been a little off, but now things have spiraled. With the oppression of the scrawn and breeders at an all-time high, and the pure lumberjacks now severing limbs in favor of mechanical appendages, camp has become extremely dangerous. Who wants to live with a bunch of men with saws for arms anyway? Annalise has two choices, conform to the lumberchief’s will or escape. But Annalise has a secret. One that could cost her life. Using spontaneity and her reckless resolve, she tries to formulate a plan with her good friend Marshall. But as it takes form, she wonders if it will be enough to safely escape. Not only will she have to figure out how to get to a camp over a hundred miles away, but she also has the threat of the dreaded keringer—a relentless beast that roams and hunts in the timber. No one has ever survived an encounter with a keringer. One false move in her plan and Annalise will not only die, but also bring down her good friend and anyone else who follows. The weight of the world is on her shoulders. But that’s just another day in lumberjacking, right?

Download or read book Strong Winds and Widow Makers written by Steven C. Beda and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2022-12-13 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2022 Philip Taft Labor History Book Prize Often cast as villains in the Northwest's environmental battles, timber workers in fact have a connection to the forest that goes far beyond jobs and economic issues. Steven C. Beda explores the complex true story of how and why timber-working communities have concerned themselves with the health and future of the woods surrounding them. Life experiences like hunting, fishing, foraging, and hiking imbued timber country with meanings and values that nurtured a deep sense of place in workers, their families, and their communities. This sense of place in turn shaped ideas about protection that sometimes clashed with the views of environmentalists--or the desires of employers. Beda's sympathetic, in-depth look at the human beings whose lives are embedded in the woods helps us understand that timber communities fought not just to protect their livelihood, but because they saw the forest as a vital part of themselves.
