- On their debut, The Clash famously claimed to be 'bored with the USA', but The Clash wasn't a parochial record. The Clash Takes on the World explores the transnational aspects of The Clash's music, lyrics and politics from a truly multinational perspective. Join literary scholars, historians, media theorists, musicologists, social activists and geographers from Europe and the United States as they apply a range of critical approaches to The Clash's work.
