In neighbourhoods and public spaces across Britain, young working
people walked out together, congregated in the streets, and paraded
up and down on the 'monkey parades'. The beginnings of a distinct
youth culture can be traced to the late nineteenth century, and the
street and neighbourhood provided its forum. Dangerous amusements
explores these sites of leisure and courtship, examining how young
working-class men and women engaged with their environment. Drawing
on an extensive range of sources, from newspapers and institutional
records to oral histories and autobiography, this book traces the
movements of young people across space. Exploring the relationship
between the leisure lives of the young working class and urban
space, this book offers a sensitive reappraisal of working-class
youth and will be essential reading for historians of modern
Britain. -- .
