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.
