Winter 2021/22 – After review and revisions process, the book is under agreement to be published with a well respected radical (and punk friendly) publisher. Details to be announced.

Some thought-provoking questions, to which you might respond or take as a point of departure:
- What lessons can other milieus of the anarchist movement draw from punk’s longevity and impressive global spread?
- Is the relationship between punk and anarchism substantially distinct in ‘other’ world contexts (especially in the ‘Global South’)?
- Can punk’s success in ‘taking back the means of cultural production’ be replicated in other realms of production (whether social or material)?
- Is punk well-placed to respond to, or resist, or escape, the neoliberal capitalist world? Or is punk just another harbinger of neoliberalism’s seemingly irresistible advance?
- How do punk scenes respond to life under socialist/communist states and governments? Or to life under fascist/authoritarian/totalitarian states and governments?
- What intervention can punk culture (or punk counter-culture) make in the ‘culture wars’?
- In our era of perpetual crisis, what role can/do punk scenes play in providing focal points for resistance and mutual aid? - How has punk responded to radical ideologies other than anarchism (Marxism, autonomism, socialism, feminism, environmentalism)?
- How has punk interacted with specific social movements (Black Lives Matter, antifa, Extinction Rebellion, trans rights, anti-globalisation, Occupy, disability rights, Food Not Bombs, LGBT, squatting)?
- How does punk challenge, or fail to challenge, the patriarchy? Does queer punk look different in diverse global contexts? - What does the prevalence of veganism in punk culture tell us about tensions between individual consumer choices and activism? How do other punk behaviours and consumption practices relate to anarchism?
- In what ways does the prevalence of anti-theism in punk reflect anarchist anti-theism and anti-clericalism?
- How does the relationship between punk and anarchism compare with other anarchist-associated music cultures or art movements? (Hip-hop, rap, dance, rave, folk, anti-folk, metal, jazz, kraut rock, ska, avant-garde, rebetiko, corridos, no wave, Irish rebel music, ad nauseam!).

Please feel free to expand beyond these questions in your contributions.
