{"product_id":"punks-and-skins-united-aimar-ventsel-9781807580827","title":"Punks and Skins United: Identity, Class and the Economics of an Eastern German Subculture","description":"\u003cp\u003e Germany has one of the liveliest and well-developed punk scenes in the world. However, punk in this country is not just a style-based music community. This book provides an anthropological examination of how punk reflects the larger changes and contradictions in post-reunification Germany, such as social segmentation, east-west tensions and local politics. Punk in eastern Germany is a reaction to the marginalization of the working class. As a cultural, social and economic niche, punks create their own controversial \"substitute society\" to compensate for their low status in mainstream society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aimar Ventsel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1807580822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781807580827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Aimar Ventsel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097275801855,"sku":"9781807580827","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/punks-and-skins-united-aimar-ventsel-9781807580827","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
