"This examination of body piercing and anarchist communities is a tour de force over the academic discourse on sub-cultural networks, identity construction, and maintenance and resistance. Lisa's lengthy association, lasting more than fifteen years, with body piercing and anarchist communities across the world has enabled her to gain valuable firsthand insights and to provide nuanced explanations rooted in a wide range of diverse conceptual frameworks that are seldom used so interactively in a single manuscript dealing with body modification." - Dawood H. Sultan, Assistant Professor, University of South Florida "A powerful portrayal of some of the most animated members of the emerging militant movement of love." - Waldemar "Major" Fydrych, founder of Poland's Orange Alternative [Pomaranczowa Alternatywa] and the Fairies and Fools Political Party
