"Mark Fenemore's ambitious yet admirably compact...provides a
wide-ranging, richly detailed, nuanced, and insightful cultural and
social history of (predominantly male) youth nonconformity in the
GDR...this book belongs in the latest generation of pioneering
cultural and social histories of the GDR that suggest new
approaches and future paths for comparative study." . American
Historical Review
..".an insightful, constantly thought-provoking and engaging
analysis of the tension between the young people of the GDR and the
SED's state system. While historians of the GDR will undoubtedly
find a great deal to interest them in Fenemore's work, his insights
into neo-Nazism, youth culture in general and the relationship
between gender and the state mean his book deserves an audience
beyond those interested just in the GDR." . Cultural and Social
History
..".a wonderful book on the relationship of masculinity
discourses of working-class culture, working-class conservatism and
pop culture. Fenemore shows that youth culture is not "left" just
because it deviates from the norm. . H-Soz-u-Kult
" The volume] offers a stimulating overview that widens our
understanding of the socio-cultural dimension underlying National
Socialism." . Historische Zeitschrift
