Punks by Sharon M Hannon

This history of the punk movement in the United States shows how punk music, fashion, art, and attitude clashed with and ultimately influenced mainstream culture.
"In Punks: A Guide to an American Subculture, local author Sharon MHannon provides as thorough and insightful a guide to this cultural phenomenon as you’re likely to find. Part of a Greenwood Press series that also covered beatniks, hippies and skinheads, Punks serves as a primer to an influential but often misunderstood movement. For the uninitiated and adherents alike, this A to Z is a fascinating look at an American subculture." - Hill Rag
". . . a factually accurate textbook of sorts that touches upon all the important touchstones of what any self-respecting 'punk' would likely regard as crucial to the movement. . . . faithful and tidy representation of punk rock history." - PunkNews.org

Sharon M. Hannon is a freelance writer, editor, and researcher who has written books, websites, and articles for the Library of Congress and PBS on such topics as women explorers, World War II, spies and secret agents, and American history.
