Reviews

"The author has compiled a very extensive source base in federal, state, regional and city archives, in radio and church archives as well as in archives on the GDR opposition and in the Berlin Archiv der Jugendkulturen...the most comprehensive, source supported English language analysis of the history of German punk so far and can thus be recommended to interested readers with no prior thematic knowledge. * Florian V""olker, Rezensions journal sehepunkte * Culture from the Slums makes an engaged and engaging contribution to a growing body of work on the ways youth and musical subcultures reflect and shape social/political trends, national and self-identities, and race, class, and gender relations. * Joe Perry, Georgia State University, German Studies Review * This decidedly historical argumentative study lays the foundation for a cultural and contemporary history of the 1980s that takes youth cultural developments and media pop phenomena seriously as integral parts. * Karl Siebengartner, H-Soz-Kult von * This monograph is a magnificent feat of research that everyone interested in the history of the FRG and GDR should read. * Aimar Ventsel, University of Tartu, Estonia * With Culture from the Slums Hayton has provided a rich interpretation of German punk, one that will surely prove to be an invaluable resource not only for scholars of German punk but also for those interested in the history of divided Germany and in the relationship between subcultures and historical change more broadly. * Jake P. Smith, Colorado College * Jeff Hayton's invaluable book takes us into the partly shared but largely distinct worlds of East and West German punks and shows us how they set to work changing them. * Seth Howes, A Journal of Germanic Studies *"


This decidedly historical argumentative study lays the foundation for a cultural and contemporary history of the 1980s that takes youth cultural developments and media pop phenomena seriously as integral parts. * Karl Siebengartner, H-Soz-Kult von *
