This is the first book to tell the story of the bebop subculture in
London's Soho, a subculture that emerged in 1945 and reached its
pinnacle in 1950. In an exploration via the intersections of race,
class and gender, it shows how bebop identities were constructed
and articulated. Combining a wide range of archival research and
theory, the book evocatively demonstrates how the scene evolved in
Soho's clubs, the fashion that formed around the music, drug usage
amongst a contingent of the group, and the moral panic which led to
the police raids on the clubs between 1947 and 1950. Thereafter it
maps the changes in popular culture in Soho during the 1950s, and
argues that the bebop story is an important precedent to the
institutional harassment of black-related spaces and culture that
continued in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This book
therefore rewrites the first chapter of the 'classic' subcultural
canon, and resets the subcultural clock; requiring us to rethink
the periodization and social make-up of British post-war youth
subcultures.
