<p><b>Minor Compositions Podcast Episode 12: The Subhumans &
Punk Historiography with Ian Glasper</b><br>

<br>
For this episode we talk with Ian Glasper about his book <i>Silence
Is No Reaction: Forty Years of Subhumans</i>. In the
conversation we cover broader issues of ‘punk historiography’ and
documenting more marginal musical, artistic, and political milieus
that one is a part of (rather than falling on or relying about
existing dominant narratives). Ian has ben writing about punk
since starting his first zine in 1986, switching to writing books
in the early 2000s as he grew increasingly frustrated that
existing histories of punk tended to focus on the best known and
most visible artists, completely neglecting the much wider and
vibrant array of bands and musics.<br>
<br>
