This book examines the emergence of modern working-class youth
culture through the perspective of an urban history of post-war
Britain, with a particular focus on the influence of young people
and their culture on Britain's self-image as a country emerging
from the constraints of its post-Victorian, imperial past. Each
section of the book - Society, City, Pop, and Space - considers in
detail the ways in which working-class youth culture corresponded
with a fast-changing metropolitan and urban society in the years
following the decline of the British Empire. Was teenage culture
rooted in the urban experience and the transformation of
working-class neighbourhoods? Did youth subcultures emerge simply
as a reaction to Britain's changing racial demographic? To what
extent did leisure venues and institutions function as laboratories
for a developing British pop culture, which ultimately helped
Britain re-establish its prominence on the world stage? These
questions and more are answered in this book.
