Daniel Rachel – This Ain’t Rock ’n’ Roll: Pop Music, the Swastika and the Third Reich

White Rabbit

Signed copies.

From Bowie and punk to contemporary provocation. Daniel Rachel examines the uneasy intersection between pop culture and fascist imagery. Deeply researched 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.

THIS AIN’T ROCK ‘N’ ROLL  is named A Rough Trade Book of the Year

Daniel Rachel and Billy Bragg will be in conversation with Miranda Sawyer at Rough Trade East on Monday 24 November.
