About this book

This book brings together historians, sociologists and social scientists to examine aspects of youth culture. The book’s themes are riots, music and gangs, connecting spectacular expression of youthful disaffection with everyday practices. By so doing, Youth Culture and Social Change maps out new ways of historicizing responses to economic and social change: public unrest and popular culture. 

Reviews

“Youth Culture and Social Change is filled with important research and can be a constructive book for anyone working at the crossroads of popular music studies, history, and sociology …” (Kyle Chattleton, The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth, Vol. 12 (2), 2019)
