Through rich ethnographic detail, in-depth historical  analysis, and cutting-edge social theory, the book chronicles the rise  of DIY culture in Indonesia, and also explores the phenomenon in Europe  and the United States, painting an evocative portrait of vibrant  communities who are not only making and distributing popular culture on  their own terms, but working to tear down the barriers between  production and consumption, third and first world, global and local.  What emerges from the book is a cautiously optimistic view of the future  of global capitalism - a creative, collectivist alternative built from  the ground up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis exciting and original study is essential  reading for students and scholars of anthropology, fashion, media  studies, cultural studies and sociology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“Brent Luvaas' contribution to the series Dress, Body, Culture is particularly successful at combining the subject of style with ethnographic observation and anthropological theory.
