Youth Culture and Social Change: Making a Difference by Making a Noise (Palgrave Studies in the History of Subcultures and Popular Music)

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.
