Just when you thought punk rock had simply devolved into Dookie and porn stars, Jeff Ott unleashes this collection of ramblings he's been releasing in zine form since 1995, proving that thinking man's punk is far from dead, it's just confused. My World ranges from how-to passages on safe needle-sharing and safe sex to educational discourse on homelessness and police brutality; all meant to reacquaint the punk movement with the "movement" side of things. The text is so comprehensive it might serve as a training manual for punks and activists alike; you'll be hard-pressed to find a social ill Ott fails to either dissect or elacidate.

An absorbing and lovingly written read!
19. Februar 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
In case you aren't familiar with the author, Jeff Ott is the singer of Berkley-area "peace punk" band Fifteen. If you ARE familiar with this band, then you probably have a pretty good idea of what this book is about. My World is a compliation of writings from his 'zine of the same name, as well as some newer stuff added in. It is done in a very "DIY" fashion, as there are some grammatical and spelling errors, and the subjects jump from one to another without any rhyme or reason. However, I would say that ADDS to it character, more than it detracts.
Obviously Jeff is very passionate about politial and social activism, and much of the basis of his information is personal experience. He recalls his experiences growing up in an abusive family, the many years of his life spent on the street, and his past drug addiction. Instead of having a "poor me" attitude about it, he makes points and brings up questions on how we can help people who are experiencing what he has gone through. Also covered are critiques of the "punk scene" and activism within the scene, tips for safe sex, needle use, and disease prevention, social constructs of gender, stories of other activists (especially Judi Bari, organizer for Earth First!), and various other grassroots organizations (like Food Not Bombs). Several portions are written by close friends which help broaden the scope a little.
I guess my only major critique of the book is how easily swayed the author seems to be by some books and articles he has cited- he seems like an intelligent fellow, so I found this somewhat irritating. I found his musings based on personal experience to be much more powerful and insightful. My favorite parts are the questions he asks punks concerning gender roles, social consructs, and "talk vs. action" within the scene. Thought provoking and much needed, to a group that sometimes considers itself "invincible" to such evils.
Overall, this book is extremely easy to read, and is definitely meant to be accessible to many people, of all walks of life. For the most part, it underscored things that I already knew and had thought about, but added a fresh perspective.
