Praise for the first edition:
?No one seriously interested in youth mass culture or style can
afford to ignore this work.? - Stanley Cohen, The Times Higher
Education Supplement
?The Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies deserves our
gratitude for having begun to locate the real areas of discussion.?
- New Society
affords an authoritative perspective of society's subcultures
amongst the young since the war. What it has to say about that
legacy of rebellion deserves to be read by all involved with and
seeking to understand young people.? - ILEA Contact
This revised and expanded edition of Resistance through Rituals
includes a new introduction to bring the reader fully up-to-date
with the changes that have happened since the work's first release
in the double issue of Working Papers in Cultural Studies in
1975.
The work of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at
Birmingham has been noted as historically leading the field in new
areas of enquiry within the field of cultural studies, and the
papers from the Centre are canonical reading for many cultural
studies students. This revised edition includes all the original,
exceptional papers, and enhances these with the reflections of the
editors thirty years after the original publication.
At a time when youth culture had been widely publicised, but few
people understood its significance as one of the most striking and
visible manifestations of social and political change, these papers
redressed the balance. Looking in detail at the wide range of
post-war youth subcultures, from teds, mods and skinheads to black
Rastafarians, Resistance through Rituals considers how youth
culture reflects and reacts to cultural change.
This text represents the collective understanding of the leading
centre for contemporary culture, and serves to situate some of the
most important cultural work of the twentieth century in the new
millennium.
