This book considers the history of Do It Yourself art, music and publishing, demonstrating how DIY strategies have transitioned from being marginal, to emergent, to embedded. "The authorbrings together a remarkably diverse set of creative ventures, such as bands, record labels and live-music venues, exhibition spaces, art galleries and bookstores, as well as magazines and publishing imprints, among others, while demonstrating how these pursuits reflect but also,crucially,affect the social and cultural environments within which they occur." -- Mari Valdur, University of Helsinki, European Association of Social Anthropologists
