First published in 1980, this book argues that subcultures are
formed in defence of collectively experienced problems that arise
from defects and contradictions in social structures. Mike Brake
looks at the development of post-war youth culture in a
sociological context and considers the class base of youth
subcultures, showing that they generate a form of collective
identity from which an individual identity can be achieved, outside
that ascribed by class, education or occupation. Black youth and
young females are two groups given special attention here since
Brake notes they are prone to particular problems resulting from
the racism and sexism inherent in much youth culture.
