Unapologetic and challenging, Nation of Rebels establishes a clear causal link between consumerism and the counterculture that purports to oppose it. Some of the authors' flourishes are annoying and (occasionally) offensive, but the central argument is so brilliant and undeniable it elevates even those peripheral points I would rather deny. ( ) I really enjoyed this book and found it both entertaining and educational. The format is like reading a very clear research paper on consumerism, capitalism and western culture, but which has links to the everyday experience. Read it in one sitting because it was like attending a really good lecture, or watching an intriguing documentary. Felt like reading it again once I put it down, so will return to it again. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
An explosive rejection of the myth of the counterculture in themost provocative book since No Logo. In this wide-ranging and perceptive work of cultural criticism,Joseph Heath and Andrew Potter shatter the central myth of radicalpolitical, economic and cultural thinking. The idea of acounterculture ? that is, a world outside of the consumerdominated one that encompasses us ? pervades everythingfrom the anti-globalisation movement to feminism andenvironmentalism. And the idea that mocking the system, or tryingto ?jam? it so it will collapse, they argue, is notonly counterproductive but has helped to create the very consumersociety that rad icals oppose. In a lively blend of pop culture, history and philosophicalanalysis, Heath and Potter offer a startlingly clear picture ofwhat a concern for social justice might look like without theconfusion of the counterculture obsession with being different.
