Book Synopsis
Combines a close reading of the late-1970s music press discourse with musical analyses and theories of identity to unpack post-punk’s status as a genre. Mimi Haddon diversifies the discourse around post-punk, exploring both its gender and racial dynamics and its proto-industrial aesthetics.

Trade Review
A fascinating insight into a musical label that—more than 40 years on—still defies categorisation." —Record Collector

"Mimi Haddon’s What Is Post-Punk? dismantles a deceptively simple question with care, beginning a long-overdue conversation that, as Haddon herself reveals, has already been happening online and in the music press for years. . . . Haddon’s approach is academic but not prescriptive, carefully introducing a diverse set of critical frameworks that will be invaluable for future writers." —Punk Post-Punk
