Recenzii

Daniel Rachel has dug deep into rock and pop's enduring obsession with Nazism. Why is this still going on?
A timely book exposing the complicated history of the use of Nazi symbols in popular music culture since the last world war. As the powers-that-be lurch towards a far-right future, there is no longer any hiding place for those pretending to be ignorant about the true meaning of Nazism, or using its emblems for their supposed subversive 'cool' factor. They have a choice, own their perverse fascination when exposed or apologise
While it's slightly incredible nobody has before published a book on rock's periodic spasms of flirtation with Nazism, one could picture it as a dry, academic thesis rather than the absolute banger Daniel Rachel has written. It's hard to imagine there will be a more original book of non-fiction this year
In this important exploration of the relationship between pop music and the Third Reich, Daniel Rachel challenges the motivations of those artists who sought glamour and notoriety in exploiting Nazi imagery
A deeply thought-provoking work, and long overdue
A timely, wide ranging and eye-opening overview of music's fascination with the Third Reich, from moronic edgelord stupidity to studied, cold hearted hate. Thorough, calm and at times heart-breaking, This Aint Rock 'n' Roll is surely the most necessary music book of the year
Highlights both the stupidity and subversion of musicians' flirting with Nazism ... the book astutely traces the global rise of fascism and its reverberations in pop culture
A shocking and highly necessary book
The cognitive dissonance between rock's rebellious use of Nazi imagery and the actual horror of the Nazi regime. There are surprising details everywhere in this book
A catalogue of Rock's flirtation with fascist symbolism that builds into a relentless polemic. Important and timely
From Bowie and punk to contemporary provocation. Daniel Rachel examines the uneasy intersection between pop culture and fascist imagery. Deeply research and provocative, it asks why artists flirt with dangerous symbols and what that says about society's memory. This is history, ethics, and pop theory colliding in one compelling study. A must-read for anyone who believes music can challenge as well as charm
Rachel's book is compelling - not an easy read, but as essential now as at any point in our history
A brilliant book
An important book about an uncomfortable history . . . Rachel is a gifted writer of evocative prose and a diligent historian, and here he assembles a responsible, questioning and thought-provoking examination of wider social and cultural consciousnesses. It's a fascinating chronicle of both human atrocities and the often dubious psyche of rock's legacy that ought to be taught in colleges
Brilliant . . . Daniel writes with such energy and thoughtfulness
