This book considers the intersection of music, politics and identity, focusing on music (genres) across the world as a form of political expression and protest, positive identity formations, and also how the criminalisation, censuring, policing and prosecution of musicians and fans can occur.

The book will serve as a starting point for scholars in those areas where there has been an uncertain approach to this subject, while those from disciplines with a more established canon of music analysis will be informed about what eac...
Straight edge—hardcore punk’s drug-free offshoot—has thrived as a subculture since the early 1980s. Its influence has reached far beyond musical genres and subcultural divides.

X: Straight Edge and Radical Sobriety is Gabriel Kuhn’s highly anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed Sober Living for the Revolution. In this impressive volume, Kuhn continues his reconnaissance of straight-edge cult...

Dalam buku ini, penulis menemukan 180 Pengorbanan Yesus di Karya Salib, yang sampai ke tangan kita sekarang dalam bentuk buku.Tidak hanya sekedar Yesus dipaku, ditombak, diadili, diludahi, dimahkotai duri, yang mungkin jika didaftarkan tidak akan lebih dari 20 perkara yang dapat kita ingat, dari apa yang pernah kita dengar, kita lihat di film-film yang berusaha menggambarkan karya salib-Nya, tetapi ternyata sampai mencapai angka 180, angka ratusan bentuk pengorbanan yang dilakukan Yesus.
