In this episode, two punk scholars - Raymond Patton and David Pearson - discuss how punk operates and frames itself in different contexts and time periods, including issues of diversity and multiculturalism and the experiences and participation of immigrants, women, people of color, and the continuum or rejection of politics and commercialism. The occasion is the recent publication of David's book, Rebel Music in the Triumphant Empire: Punk Rock in the 1990s United States (Oxford University Press).
