Stuart Hall





(1976)



Jamaican-Briton mensch of media and cultural studies (writing for Marxism Today throughout the 70s) takes a post- Marxist/Gramscian/Frankfurt School journey through the genesis of the Teds, Skins, Rastas, Mods... Arguing the factors influencing the first-world lower-middle class which led to the postwar explosion of youth subcultures. To continue the legacy, consult the (now classic) 1979 ethnography of punk culture, Dick Hebdige's Subculture: The Meaning of Style.
