Through rich ethnographic detail, in-depth historical analysis, and cutting-edge social theory, the book chronicles the rise of DIY culture in Indonesia, and also explores the phenomenon in Europe and the United States, painting an evocative portrait of vibrant communities who are not only making and distributing popular culture on their own terms, but working to tear down the barriers between production and consumption, third and first world, global and local. What emerges from the book is a cautiously optimistic view of the future of global capitalism - a creative, collectivist alternative built from the ground up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis exciting and original study is essential reading for students and scholars of anthropology, fashion, media studies, cultural studies and sociology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brent Luvaas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0857850393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780857850393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Brent Luvaas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087022928127,"sku":"9780857850393","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef878f43-7471-429a-acca-2b57ee0adf05.jpg?v=1769097853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/diy-style-brent-luvaas-9780857850393","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
