Praise for Unmarketable:
“Conversational, intellectually curious, and charmingly ragged,
Unmarketable is an anticorporate manifesto with a difference: It
exudes raw coolness.”
—Mother Jones
“Sharp and valuable muckraking.”
—Time Out New York
“An intelligent, funny, and frequently dispiriting study of the
ways in which the mainstream has repeatedly pillaged the
underground, repackaging what they find before setting it afloat in
the sea of mass consumption.”
—Bitch
“One of the most profound insights Moore makes is that when
activists use the same branding, marketing and even legal
strategies as corporations, they in essence play on corporate
terms.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Engaging to read, yet don’t lose sight of [Moore’s] plea for
integrity. Worth noting.”
—Booklist
“Following in the grand tradition of Thomas Frank, Anne Elizabeth
Moore has written a devastating account of the commercial
penetration of alternative culture and its appalling implications.
This book should be a must-read for everyone; it is a wake-up call
for how freedom and integrity are considered commodities by those
with no agenda except to make profits . . . and rule the world.
”
—Robert W. McChesney
“If you thought regular advertising was manipulative, you should
see its seedy underbelly. Anne Elizabeth Moore’s investigation is
unflinching and revelatory.”
—Michelle Tea
“An informative, forceful, and humorous book.”
—Harvey Pekar
