'The story of punk has long been told from the perspective of punk in the United Kingdom and the United States. The Punk Reader: Research Transmissions from the Local to the Global, edited by Russ Bestley, Mike Dines, Alastair ‘Gords’ Gordon and Paula Guerra , begins to crack that myth since, as described at the publisher’s website, this is indeed the first edited collection that looks at the influence of punk beyond the geographical constraints previously assigned to punk. Essays on this volume critically explore punk in essays covering the globe including Spain, China, Malaysia, Portugal, Holland and Mexico. [...] A great compilation of material about the global punk scene and the international network that has appeared since the 1980s.'
