Editorial Reviews:
Review:"What Reynolds and Press are offering us is not a guide to the distaff side of pop music but a startlingly acute reading of rock through the lens of gender...[This] is one of the only really important books yet written about popular music culture...What [the authors] have achieved is formidable."
Barney Hoskyns, Observer (London)
Review:"Let's hope that this is not the last cross-disciplinary work that owes its ambitions to the cultural studies movement while refusing to succumb to academic provincialism and jargon."
Robert Christgau, New York Times Book Review, 06/25/1995

In this music (historically created by males), the tension of love, lust, and hate between the sexes is a central issue. In addition, rock, from its inception, has challenged the validity of culturally imposed sex roles. Journalists Reynolds (Melody Maker, New York Times) and Press (Spin, Village Voice) address these issues determinedly and knowledgeably. Methodizing gender motifs within male-created rock, they contrast a snarling misogyny (e.g., the Rolling Stones) with an awe-captured, oceanic mother-worship (e.g., Pink Floyd). Especially provocative is the authors' taxonomy of role imagery among female rockers: tomboy rebel, riot grrl, mysterious masquerader, vulnerable confessor. . Revolts emerges as the only complete analysis of gender in rock music. The writing is intelligent, evocative, and engaging, rich in thought without becoming ponderous. Even those readers who question the authors' nervy paradigms will find this an authoritative, comprehensive history of rock. Thorough, unique, and challenging. Highly recommended.'--Bill Piekarski, Library Journal, 1995. Bookseller Inventory # 1026H982425 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
