Online resources: Summary: "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"--Summary: Introduction -- Transformation of East Germany: Wende and Socio-economic Framework for the Ossi-identity -- Punk Rock -- Living Music -- Ostpunk -- Arbeitslos und stolz!
