Description:NO LONGER AVAILABLE AS A KINDLE: UPDATED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE AS A HARD BACK FROM INTELLECT (UK) AND UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO (US)How did a song recorded in 1981 by a young multi-racial punk rock band from a ‘stagnating provincial English city’ and released on a tiny independent record label become famous in a Yugoslavia formed in the image of Marshall Tito? Why did it take 30 years before the members of the band found out? How was it that this ‘communist’ country had one of the most vibrant punk-rock scenes in the world? Who were ’Tito’s punks’ and who are they now? More than three decades later, the author sets out from his home in the Netherlands to follow the journey of the song, through a time and a country that no longer exists. On the way he encounters borders and Brutalism, discovers the world’s first fascist micro-state, sees the legacy of the NATO bombings, the impact of ‘turbo-capitalism’ and the ever-present ghosts of genocides and the Holocaust. But unexpectedly also, the Yugoslavs’ love of British TV sitcoms and Northern Ireland punk, tales of Nirvana and REM, Van Gogh and Vermeer, pirates and Black Wave movies, the Yugoslav story behind the Sound of Music, and the embracing warmth of Balkan hospitality. What emerges is a lesser told, unvarnished but also affectionate portrait of Yugoslavia in the years before its demise through to the present, seen through the unlikely lens of punk and punk rockers. Part travelogue, part history the book is both, and neither, of those things. Rather, it is a mural of that journey. “We went to sleep in Disneyland, and we woke up in the apocalypse.” “The socialism was not the problem, the parents were the problem.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
