Can rock n' roll and politics mix? Rock Dogs looks at the impact of government music policies on the Australian music scene, youth culture, and national identity. This insightful and timely book is a candid, observant study of the legacy of the Australian Labor Party's cultural policies in the 1980s and early 1990s, and the larger debate over the creation and preservation of a national culture.
