Review:
Not really about punk but about activism in the late 70s and throughout the 80s. It is written by someone who was involved with the anti-militarist group Onkruit and wrote in the 80s for Bluf!, a well-known Dutch activist magazine. The book is selfreleased and I think because most of the 768 pages are articles/pieces taken from newspapers, flyers, declarations, magazines, Bluf! etc. They’re a much better read than the pieces of the writer who seems to be sexual frustrated living in an Amsterdam squatters bubble and who thinks now as a zen buddhist. He now has respect for the riotcops and doesn’t bother about the future anymore. Very tiring if you have to plough through the pages although there’s a few good stories. Still an interesting read because of those many articles. P **
