Contempt for Authority, Stories of Local Punks in Argentina 1983-1988 (Chapter 2)
From Stirner's anarchist philosophy to self-published fanzines; from participating in the Resistance Marches of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo back in the Eighties to protesting the opening of McDonald's first Argentine restaurant; from meetings with anarchists at the Jose Ingenieros Library to the scene at Luis Alacran's park stand; and from the notion of a cooperative association to the very first community festivals, this oral history of the argentinian punk movement continues its lucid and choral vision of resistance and the margins.
