Sommario/riassunto

"Ripped, Torn and Cut is a collection of original essays exploring the motivations behind - and the politics within - the multitude of fanzines that emerged in the wake of British punk from 1976. Mark Perry's iconic Sniffin' Glue (1976-77) was only the first of many, leading the



way for hundreds of homemade magazines to be cut and pasted in bedrooms across the UK. Ripped, Torn and Cut is the first book of its kind, it reveals the contested nature of punk's cultural politics by turning the pages of a vibrant underground press."--Cover.
