In Punk and Revolution Shane Greene radically uproots punk from its
iconic place in First World urban culture, Anglo popular music, and
the Euro-American avant-garde, situating it instead as a crucial
element in Peru's culture of subversive militancy and political
violence. Inspired by Jose Carlos Mariategui's Seven Interpretive
Essays on Peruvian Reality, Greene explores punk's political
aspirations and subcultural possibilities while complicating the
dominant narratives of the war between the Shining Path and the
Peruvian state. In these seven essays, Greene experiments with
style and content, bends the ethnographic genre, and juxtaposes the
textual and visual. He theorizes punk in Lima as a mode of
aesthetic and material underproduction, rants at canonical cultural
studies for its failure to acknowledge punk's potential for
generating revolutionary politics, and uncovers the intersections
of gender, ethnicity, class, and authenticity in the Lima punk
scene. Following the theoretical interventions of Debord, Benjamin,
and Bakhtin, Greene fundamentally redefines how we might think
about the creative contours of punk subculture and the politics of
anarchist praxis.
