Both more and less than a band, Pussy Riot is continually misunderstood by the Western media.
This book sets the record straight.
After their scandalous performance of an anti-Putin protest song in Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and the imprisonment of two of its members, the punk feminist art collective known as Pussy Riot became an international phenomenon.
But, what, exactly, is Pussy Riot, and what are they trying to achieve?
The award-winning author Eliot Borenstein explores the movements explosive history and takes you beyond the hype.
"Eliot Borenstein takes readers trough the fascinating discussion triggered by the Pussy Riot in and after their famous punk prayer. Does contemporary protest have to be spectacular? What happens when protesters become celebrities? How feminist Pussy Riot eventually are? And what lessons can we learn from speaking punk to power? A must read for everyone interested in art and politics."
Ivan Gololobov, Lecturer in Politics and Russian Studies, University of Bath, United Kingdom
"Eliot Borenstein succinctly explains what made Pussy Riot a global phenomenon. He uncovers the complex context of the affair which builds off the interplay between political protest, prank and parody, language taboos, post-modernist art activism, performance, dissidence, punk, the subversive politics of the female body, religion, and church."
