Hardback. Condition: Good. From the award-winning filmmaker and graphic novelist comes the untold origin story of the multimillion-dollar AFROPUNK Festival--beginning not with big stages or brand sponsorship, but with one Black kid's search for belonging in the nineties New York City punk scene "A memoir that belongs in the canon of punk history. . . . Thrilling." --Kathleen Hanna, author of Rebel Girl "Vital. . . . Should live in the archives as both a corrective to misunderstood history, and a manifesto for a path forward." --Hanif Abdurraqib, author of A Little Devil in America In 1991, fifteen-year-old James Spooner arrives in the West Village, hopeful that he's finally escaped the extremist racism of his Southern California desert town, yet unsure what New York City will make of a tartan-plaid-and-leather-clad biracial kid with a mohawk. In the city's legendary rock clubs, squats, and DIY art spaces, he finds his way to creating zines, starting a record label, and promoting parties, while falling further in love with punk rock's distorted guitars and politically progressive lyrics. Still, he must navigate the hostile bigotry of mainstream society, as well as a largely white underground conspicuously silent on issues of race. Intent on carving out a space for young, Black, politically radical punk rockers like himself, Spooner undertakes a whirlwind tour of the country, collecting the stories that will become his acclaimed documentary, Afro-Punk, and eventually lead to the wildly successful music festival of the same name. But what begins as a way to chronicle the joys and heartaches of being Black and punk rock soon spirals into a multimillion-dollar corporate endeavor. Spooner is forced to ask himself: In setting out to galvanize an underground movement, has he in fact given rise to the least punk rock thing of all--a brand? Illustrated with a vibrant mix of comics, spot art, and punk ephemera throughout, It Starts with Anger is at once a coming-of-age story about found family, a compelling capitalist cautionary tale, and a raucous celebration of the indelible, rebellious spirit of Black punks.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A canonizing, bold, and urgent anthology setting a new precedent for Black Punk Lit, created by generations of Black punks-featuring both new voices and those from the not-so-recent pastA canonizing, bold, and urgent anthology setting a new precedent for Black Punk Lit, created by generations of Black punks-featuring both new voices and those from the not-so-recent pastBlack Punk Now is an anthology of contemporary nonfiction, fiction, illustrations, and comics that collectively describe punk today and give punks-especially the Black ones-a wider frame of reference. It shows all of the strains, styles, and identities of Black punk that are thriving, and gives newcomers to the scene more chances to see themselves.Curated from the perspective of Black writers with connections to the world of punk, the collection mixes media as well as generations, creating a new reference point for music-lovers, readers, and historians by capturing the present and looking towards the future. With strong visual elements integrated throughout, this smart, intimate collection is demonstrative of punk by being punk itself: underground, rebellious, aesthetic but not static-working to decenter whiteness by prioritizing other perspectives.Edited by graphic novelist and filmmaker James Spooner, and author Chris L. Terry, contributors to the collection include critic Hanif Abdurraqib and Mars Dixon, conversations with Brontez Purnell, and a roundtable of all femme festival organizers.
