Fascist Rock: Stories of Rebellion

Author: Claire Tham
ISBN: 9789814974493
Format: Paperback
Publisher: Marshall Cavendish International (Asia) Pte Ltd

Claire Tham’s rebels tease us with the most provocative questions. Was Hitler the first rock star? Is college spirit a huge con-game? Are teachers fascist? Chris, the angry college punk; Lee, the deejay’s Americanised daughter; James, the pretender; Jeanne, the alienated wife; the Tiananmen refugee – these are some of the rebels who walk through the disturbingly familiar stories in Fascist Rock. Bitterly, yet eloquently, they voice our own hidden rebellion.
