DiY Culture: Party and Protest in Nineties' Britain Paperback - 1998

by George McKay (Editor)

Editor George McKay claims that popular protest today is characterized by a culture of immediacy and direct action. Gathered here is a collection of in-depth and reflective pieces by activists and other key figures in Britain's DiY culture. From the environmentalist to the video activist, the raver to the road protester, the neo-pagan to the anarcho-capitalist, Britain's youth forge a new kind of politics. 16 photos.

Media reviews

“If you’re one of the many people who feel increasingly disenfranchised by the British political system and that New Labour is the same old, repressive, Tory/big business bullshit under a different name, then this is likely to be the most uplifting and empowering book you’ll read in a long time.”—Irvine Welsh
