Keith Lowell Jensen thinks you should punch Nazis. In this
collection of essays, stories, interviews, and rants, he tells us
why. Jensen grew up and into the Sacramento punk music scene in the
late eighties and early nineties, where weirdos, LGBTQ folk,
feminists, and allies strived to carve out safe community spaces.
This scene also attracted a different kind of outsider--white
supremacists and Nazi skinheads-making for a politically charged
and complicated landscape. In Punching Nazis, he reflects on his
experiences with these racist fringe groups that infiltrated the
progressive scene that gave rise to bands like Green Day. From
unwittingly driving around in a lowrider with a gang called "The
Suicidals," to a night doing stand-up with a clown with an unwanted
Swastika tattoo, Jensen brings his brand of subtle, sincere comedy
to reflect on the complicated relationship that punk music has with
racist skinheads and what we should do about it. In recent times,
Americans are surprised to find groups like the Klan, and more
recently the "Racial Realists" and the "Alt-Right," are still
prominent, and now as they grow increasingly emboldened, it's
intriguing and valuable to hear tales of those who, through the
love of punk rock music, have a history of dealing with racist
fringe groups.
