Punk Record Labels and the Struggle for Autonomy: The Emergence of DIY

by Alan O'Connor

Unlike studies that consider punk as subculture and style, this innovative book maps the field of punk-rock labels. Using the ideas of Pierre Bourdieu, it describes the social life of the field and the struggles of punks to live up to their ideals.
